Evaluation of BFI Locked Box Entitlements Initiative

About

BFI awarded a contract to Olsberg SPI Limited for an evaluation of its Locked Box initiative to determine if it is delivering expected outcomes, including UK producers, writers, and directors benefiting from film success, revenue from successful BFI-backed films being reinvested into the British film industry, and viable and sustainable businesses with reduced dependency on public funds.

The evaluation will provide a descriptive account of BFI funded feature film receipts collected into Locked Boxes and filmmaker requests to access funding since launch, analyze the initiative's structure and delivery, and weigh evidence to determine if the Locked Box is the most effective means of achieving these goals compared with alternative approaches.

The evaluation will utilize BFI Locked Box records, filmmaker surveys, case studies, and trade association consultations.

The contract value is AUD 14,920.
