EUROPESERVICING 2006
DIRECTOR'S CUT: SESSION 4


The Stunt Man is 1980 film Starring Peter O’Toole that tells the story of a war veteran who stumbles onto a film set while on the run from the police.

He pretends to be a stunt man, and eventually finds that the film's maniacal director is putting his life into more danger than he might have been at the hands of the police.

We often wonder if third-party servicers ever question whether they would have been more secure as a captive servicer. In life, as in the film, the stunt man is increasingly required to perform a variety of stunts to stay in the film, just as the workload and variety of stunts required by third-party servicers is essential if they are to stay in the game.

The "director's cut" or "notes" were written by EuropeServicing's chief architect and host, Toni Moss, CEO of EuroCatalyst. Because the event is being held at the famous 195 Piccadilly, the home of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, EuroCatalyst has chosen to use movie titles to theme each session. While some see films as entertainment, others recognise the art of cinema as a record of the human condition. EuroCatalyst chose titles and short clips of films to theme and inspire discussion as we bring the triumph and struggles of the European servicing sector to life over the course of the two-day EuropeServicing event. Even if you have not seen any of the films mentioned, the simple titles should tell you everything you need to know. Moss and her guest hosts look forward to interviewing the lineup of panellists who represent the best that the European servicing industry has to offer, and hope to change your perspectives about the role and importance of servicing as the stage upon which the European mortgage industry is set.
