How to access our Production Fund

Screen Yorkshire's Production Fund is a digital media content development and production fund, supported by Yorkshire Forward, our Regional Development Agency. This fund does not give out grants - we will look for returns on our investments, such as benefits to the sector and money we might get back.

In partnership with other public and private sector financiers, we will invest in projects and companies to:

· nurture talent in Yorkshire and Humber
· help establish markets
· encourage creative and technical innovation
· encourage access for creative and business talent from all sectors of society
· attract new audiences

We support projects across the whole range of digital media activity, including:

· feature films (drama and documentary)
· television programming (drama and factual)
· video and computer games
· new media
