Film Funding

in the UK and the following list provides links for all types
of funding for film projects, large or small. There are no
general funds for film – all the schemes listed here
have very specific criteria.
- Shooting
People

daily bulletins by email about filming. If you’re
working on a tight budget, this is one of the best ways
to contact people, make
announcements, find your crew and get your technical
problems solved.
