Funding your short film

Although we will be creating a film that doesn't require funding, we wanted to know how short film directors dealt with the financial issues.

Channel four has a list of many websites that prospective film makers can check out, whether they are looking for private funding, film festival cash awards or simply looking how to go it alone. http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/feature.jsp?id=113742

http://www.britfilms.com/resources/fundinginformation/ gives details of all of the publicly funded production companies who offer a budget amount to offer short filmmakers each year. One of the better known sites is http://www.ukfilmcouncil.org.uk/filmmaking/shorts/

The BBC film network website has a very handy guide to making the most out of your application to the film companies: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/filmmakersguidefunding#application
