The Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance (GFA) is an online directory listing individuals and companies who are associated with film and television production in and around the city of Glasgow in Scotland. It was founded in 2011 by Scottish actor Andrew O'Donnell and Chris Quick, a Scottish film editor.〔(Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance Info Column )〕 ==History== The idea of the directory came about during the filming of ''In Search of La Che'' when Quick felt there was no central place to find professional talent both in front and behind the camera.〔(Movies Scramble: An Interview with Chris Quick Part 2 )〕 Soon after filming finished, he discussed the idea with O'Donnell and the pair launched what would become the Glasgow Filmmakers Alliacne on 31 October 2011. In 2012, the alliance was invited by Stephen Paton of Production Attic to form what would become the Glasgow Creative Network which hosts networking events for media professionals in Glasgow. A supporter of independent film, Quick led a campaign to get the British Academy Scotland New Talent Awards recognised by IMDB stating that 'they represented the best of emerging Scottish talent'. The camaign was successful and the awards were introduced to the site later that year. He later repeated this success with the inclusion of the Virgin Media Short Awards after the first double win by Scottish director John McPhail.〔(Chris Quick IMDB Biography & Trivia )〕〔(HD Warrior Blog )〕 In 2014, Quick and O'Donnell wrote an open letter on behalf of the independent filmmakers of Glasgow to the director of BAFTA Scotland, Jude MacLaverty. In the letter, the pair asked the film body to consider a proposal of including three new awards at the annual ceremony aimed at low budget / independent filmmakers.〔(Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance Open Letter to Bafta Scotland )〕 On 28 October it was announced that the proposal would be placed on the agenda of the next Bafta Scotland Committee meeting in December 2014.〔(Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance Media Release )〕 On 2 April 2015, the BAFTA Scotland committee released their response to the proposals put forward by the Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance.〔(BAFTA Scotland response to Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance Proposals )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
