Looking to find out how you can fund your next feature, short or documentary film? Then join The Knowledge this Thursday (27 Feb) at BVE in London where a panel of experts will discuss the various options available to UK talent.
In the current landscape finding funding for your film can be a difficult feat – both at the production as well as distribution stage. In order to get you on your way we have invited a panel of specialists who will be able to provide hands-on advice.
The session, entitled “Assessing the funding landscape: Knowing your options”, will be hosted by The Knowledge editor Alexandra Zeevalkink and will cover a variety of possibilities for funding your film.
The event will take place on Thursday 27 February at 3pm in the Producers’ Theatre at BVE in London’s Excel Centre and is free to attend (you can register here).
