That is important. It is great to hear about that funding stream, but there is a reason it probably had not been applied for. We can see a lot of these small, independent studios being swallowed up by bigger companies, but it is so important they are locally led, locally managed and locally run. It is about the add-on benefits in the form of catering, transport, carpentry and whatever else. Then there is education, such as educating the new generation of makeup artists, set designers, etc. There is a real body of work to be done there.
