These discussions will be written up and put into a document stat- ing the vision of Interative Television Producers. This day will provide a vital opportunity for producers to make their voice heard and raise issues such as the need for longer lead-in times, bet- ter tools and greater investment.
“Interactive TV is transforming the way BBC and other UK pro- duction organisations are dealing with all types of programming,” says Frank Boyd, at BBC Training and Development and also a founding member of BAFTA’s inter- active entertainment committee.
“As our country makes this historic transition, we can only benefit by seeing examples from
our American cousins. We are very pleased that the AFI is so eager to help bridge the gap that still exists in the worldwide television marketplace when it comes to interactivity.”
BAFTA has played an important role in fostering excellence in tradi- tional film and television in the UK, and for a number of years has held a dedicated awards ceremo- ny for interactive entertainment.
This event with AFI and BBC is a perfect companion to BAFTA’s regular forums for members and it provides and opportunity to raise the awareness of the issues fac- ing interactive television within the industry as a whole.
