Kay Dickinson's book \"Supply Chain Cinema\" provides insight into working practices in the UK and the UAE, examining why Hollywood giants elect to make more of their films in Britain than in the USA. The UK's ambitions to enlarge its creative economies have opened up competitive advantages with British higher education increasingly fashioned to conform to the needs of border-hopping enterprise, generating a workforce keenly adapted to the demands of blockbuster moviemaking. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 192 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08 February 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy do big-budget films often shoot across multiple seemingly disjointed locations?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupply Chain Cinema explores how the production journeys of these films showcase the principles of the supply chain, whose central goal is to swiftly and opportunistically manufacture wherever is most suitable and efficient. Through extensive on-site investigations and in-depth interviews with film professionals, Kay Dickinson provides nuanced insight into working practices in the UK and the UAE. Among the sites she examines is Warner Bros.'s permanent base at Leavesden Studios near London. From tax breaks designed to attract foreign projects to infrastructures, logistical support, and expertise offered, she considers why Hollywood giants elect to make more of their films in Britain than in the USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDickinson then proceeds to show how the UK's ambitions to expand its creative economies have opened up a host of competitive advantages.
