  editors


• to gain market intelligence of broadcasters in North America


• share the knowledge gained with other companies in the Southwest


• to develop new creative talent in the South West through training and
  development

The pilot project, called 4Southwest, is backed by Channel 4, the South West Development Agency and South West Screen.

A key element in this scheme is our open door policy to help local producers to get their programme ideas in front of commissioners. We have the expertise, infrastructure and contacts to give your ideas the best chance of success.
