UK Film Council

The UK Film Council has a fund available to broaden the quality, range, and ambition of film projects being developed in the UK and to build a talent driven home for writers, directors, and producers.

The First Feature Film Development Programme aims to identify and support emerging filmmakers: screenwriters, writer/directors, and writer-director-producer teams who have not yet had a feature film released theatrically or broadcast on UK television.

Generally, awards of up to £25,000 will be offered to screenwriters or writer-directors to write and develop a feature film.

The Film Council has a list of Frequently Asked Questions which will help your application.
