Growing the creative sector in Northern Ireland

Colin Williams, Creative Director of Sixteen South, said he realised early on the benefits of partnering with other studios in different parts of the world to secure funding for getting projects off the ground.

Several guests at an event organised by RTS Northern Ireland – in partnership with the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) within its UK Export Academy – said they couldn’t recall a worse time for commissions, describing the current climate in the indie sector as a “drought”.
