Shooting People have brought together their first publication to try and answer some of the most common questions they receive about finding and structuring finance for projects and help provide a road map through the maze of funding options in the UK - at every level.
Get Your Film Funded, the UK Film Finance Guide 2004 - lists dozens of funds - more than 200 awards in total - detailing eligibility criteria, assessment terms and application guidelines. There are case studies with top directors and producers, and interviews with financiers, fund heads and buyers.
