The Nonfiction Producers Association (NPA) and PactUS have merged to create a new association, NPACT.<\/p>\n

With offices in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., NPACT now includes 99 production companies and showrunners, as well as allied services companies. As part of the merger, NPACT will have an ongoing relationship with Pact in the U.K., collaborating on joint projects and aiding one another in addressing producers’ challenges globally.<\/p>\n

John Ford, who has been\u00a0general manager of the NPA since 2015, will become general manager of NPACT. David Lyle, who has served since 2015 as president of PactUS, will work with NPACT as president emeritus.<\/p>\n

Ford said: \u201cIt is simply unparalleled in our business for a group of competitors at this high level of achievement to band together for the longevity, vitality and greater good of an industry. We face a looming crisis in keeping unscripted production companies healthy, one we can only address by coming together with a unified voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyle added: \u201cCombining PactUS and the NPA into one powerhouse organization offers a tremendous combination of resources and talents, and serves as a turning point that is key to helping preserve, propel and expand the nonfiction content business. The new NPACT represents the maverick spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship\u2014the core DNA of unscripted\u2014and will allow us to achieve our mutual goals so much faster.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
