£70,000 of funding is available to aspiring filmmakers through the UK Film Council’s Short Film Completion Fund.

The aim of the fund is to provide UK based filmmakers with finance and support for short films that show outstanding potential but lack the funds for completion.

The objective of the Completion Fund is to provide new opportunities and increase participation of groups currently under-represented in the UK film industry. This includes writers, directors, producers and actors who are disabled, female and/or those from black and visible minority ethnic groups.

The fund creates much-needed progression routes into the UK film industry for filmmaking talent and provides an opportunity for established filmmakers to reinvest their expertise in the talent of the future. There are two application deadlines for 2008/09: 10th November 2008 and March 2009
