Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. James Hickey:
No. They do want to share in downstream revenues with the creative personnel involved in the production of the film - absolutely.
In the case of the actors, the actor assigns his or her rights to the production company so that the production company can exploit the film or television series but we want to make sure that the actors get fair and proportionate remuneration, which is what is required under the copyright directive.
