REACH funding

REACH Film and TV Development Grant Awards are designed to fund the development phase of exceptional film and television projects and support the growth of eligible SME creative businesses based in the North East of England.

Successful projects need to be high-quality, viable and capable of taking your work to the next level. Projects should have a viable route to production and support the creative and professional development of writers, directors, producers, craft and technical talent based in the North East. We are particularly interested to receive projects which offer significant opportunities to people currently under-represented in the sector.

REACH is match funding, therefore 50% of your total project budget must be pledged or in place at the time of application. Applicants can apply for a minimum grant of £1000. There is no maximum amount, however awards of between £1,000-£5,000 are likely to be granted.
