About Us
We are a collective of film-makers who between us have had our films at Bafta qualifying festivals, won multiple awards at international festivals and had our films covered on BBC NEWS, Talk TV and Director's Notes with many of us looking to make that next step into features.
Industry Focus
Through our 'Power of 6 screenings' we want to invite industry figures who have made that step further in their careers, so that our emerging film-making talent can network and potentially further their career through new connections.
Bringing through a diversity of talent
Money remains one of the biggest barriers to entry in this industry. We believe in bringing through film-makers from all backgrounds and giving up and coming film-makers an opportunity to truly express themselves by connecting with other talented writers, producers, and directors and empowering emerging talent with a sizeable cash injection for their latest project.
