Are you a producer or director aged 18+ with a strong track record in screen-based work and are ready to take the next step into making features or high-end TV? Join us for an online Q&A to explain what Beyond Shorts is, and how it could support you in your career. Talent Executive Jess Wheeler will be on hand to answer your questions about whether its right for you, the application process or the programme itself.

Our five-month programme – in partnership with NFTS Cymru Wales, and with support from The Bottle Yard Studios – will run from May to late Sep 2025, and will see up to four directors and four producers benefit from specialised NFTS training, online masterclasses, mentoring with industry professionals, BFI London Film Festival digital passes, a tour of Bottle Yard Studios, and access to industry experts such as producers, agents and commissioners.

Before attending please read the full information about Beyond Shorts provided on our website. Applications open on Mon 17 February and close on Mon 24 March. You can find out about the previous participants on the scheme (formerly known as ‘Shorts2Features’) here.

Please note: Registration is free but places are limited. The Zoom link will be sent to you via your Eventbrite confirmation email (check your junk folder!).
