What Is The Film Fund?
The Film Fund has been established to help indie creatives obtain the funding that they need to bring their project to life.
The Film Fund regularly runs competitions for budding filmmakers to receive the cash they need to get their movies off the ground. Unlike other funds, we don’t require experience or hugely detailed pitches. We require a single sentence. If that sentence catches our attention? You may win the contest and receive funding for your movie.
How Can You Receive Film Fund Funding
To begin with, you will have to enter one of our competitions. We run several throughout the year. You are free to submit as many entries as you want. However, entering the competition is not enough. You need to give us a single sentence that tells us what your movie is about. We will judge you based on how well you can sell your movie.
Over the years, we have received many entries to our contests. The winning entries are able to pitch their movie concisely. In a single sentence, they are able to tell us what the movie is about, the conflict, and what what they need the funding for. You can see what our judges look for in our entries by reading the following posts from our main website:

If you are able to pitch your movie in a single sentence, then we would love to hear from you.
It doesn’t matter what stage your project is at. We have been able to provide funding for movies in both pre and post-production. What matters is the strength of your idea. What matters is that we are able to help you.
