U.K. regional funder Liverpool Film Office has launched a £250,000 single project development pot to support local talent during the coronavirus crisis using funds repurposed from its existing production fund.
The new Liverpool City Region Film & TV Development Fund will support feature film and TV content, including both scripted and factual programs, with development awards of between £2,500 and £25,000.
The development fund is open to established and start-up production companies based in and around Liverpool as well as to out-of-region producers looking to co-produce or collaborate with Liverpool-based talent.
The Film Office says it promises a responsive service via an online application portal that will indicate funding decisions within 10 working days.
It says it is giving priority to diverse, high-quality projects that commit to spending a significant proportion of their development budget within the local creative sector, and that have the greatest potential to move quickly into production in the city region once the market returns.
