THE NEXT STAGE

SUBMISSIONS CALL
We are now seeking 4 exciting feature film projects well suited to micro-budgets to enter our next funding phase. Cash budgets will be capped at £100k, and max ‘in-kind’ sponsorship at £150k.

If you are one of the successful 4, here’s what we will do for you for free:

• Upload and manage your project on the website, and make it available for member funding in units of £4.95
• Promote your project as widely as possible through our database and media partners. This will include internet, press, radio, TV, events and film festivals
• Manage your fundraise and communicate with investors on your behalf
• Promote your project to our production and distribution partners / contacts

Once you reach £100k budget lock, your production will receive sponsorship, and will be managed and mentored  by experienced Executives. We will secure UK Distribution and provide an equal profit share (once Distribution costs are recouped) from the very first £1. This will be split evenly between Cast & Crew, Participating Members, MMF and the Distributor.

TO SUBMIT
It’s all about the strength of the screenplay in the first instance, and anybody with a well developed script can enter. We are seeking bold, fresh, original, entertaining and commercially viable material.

At short-listing stage, priority will be given to well packaged projects with some key elements and assets in place, and ready to upload for funding.
