Resource Directory

Find an almost-exhaustive list of links and information on several filmmaking categories on the Independent Cinema Offices’ website, which has been compiled by BFI NETWORK Talent Executives.

We’ve long felt that there are bits and bobs of information scattered across the internet, included across BFI NETWORK’s own Film Hub websites that get a bit buried or forgotten. While we cannot claim that is a fully comprehensive directory of all the links you will ever need to either make a film, or kickstart a career in film, the hope is that we’ve created a one-stop-shop of some of the most useful guides, toolkits, masterclasses, podcasts and websites that either we’ve had a hand in making, or that we can wholeheartedly recommend.
