Uniting Funding, In-Kind Support And Star Power
We identified three of the main barriers facing underrepresented filmmakers getting their work off the ground: access to finance, support and attaching names which pull in an audience.
In inaugural £40k short film funding brought together partners Funding Futures, HAWK London delivering £15k worth of camera equipment, Grand Central offering £15k worth of Post Production services and the ability to cast Jodie Whittaker in their project.
The winning film, Truckload by Aella Jordan-Edge, had its world premiere at Tribeca and UK premiere at EIFF.
Creation Of A Rolling Fund
Paid members have access to our rollingfund of £1k towards production costs. Scope, directed by Emma Moffat, stars Antonia Thomas and Samantha Spiro and is currently on the festival circuit.
