Create Studios Short Film Fund for 18-35 year olds

With the sun lighting up the sky we're here to make your day even brighter with some exciting news! In collaboration with their esteemed Patron, David Yates, known for his directorial work on iconic films such as Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, and Pain Hustlers, Create Studios in Swindon is thrilled to announce the launch of the Create Studios Short Film Fund.

Here's your chance to shine:

Submit your short fiction drama scripts (up to 10 minutes in length) before the 2nd of June. Five projects will be shortlisted for the opportunity to pitch live at Create Studios. Two successful proposals will receive mentoring and funding, including free kit hire (worth up to £10k) and a £1000 budget for each chosen film, which will premiere in October 2024.

This fund aims to support young filmmakers (18-35) with some experience in filmmaking to take the next step in their creative careers! You need to live within a 30 mile radius of Swindon (we have been assured this can stretch to cover Glos/Chelt/Stroud etc!)

To assist with your application, we are hosting two online bootcamps:

MAY 9th at 5:30 pm: Storytelling for Short Films (Please book your space here).

MAY 16th at 5:30 pm: Perfect Pitch (Please book your space here).

We will also hold a Q&A session to address all your queries related to the short film fund application.

This is an incredibly exciting opportunity, so please share it with your friends and colleagues!

Warm regards,

Create Studios Team
