As the BFI NETWORK short film fund re-opens, this 45-min webinar hopes to help inspire and encourage producers in the south west of England to not give up on your project despite how hard it is to raise funds and balance budgets in the current financial climate.
Our guest speaker Anna Duff will outline the pros and cons of some typical routes for financing short films, such as public funders; private schemes; crowdfunding; product placement; co-production and private donation – so you’ll be sure to leave the session with some great ideas and sound advice.
This session is aimed at producers financing shorts between £5-45k for the first time, or producers looking for ways to cover gaps in their finance plan.
