Creative Europe Desk UK is taking part in this panel discussion and networking event, which will look at the strategies you can use to meet your film financing objectives. If you are raising finance for an independent production, there are many routes, with tax relief benefits and a wide range of awards and schemes running throughout the year with different agencies. 

This event explores crowd funding for film and how it supports new distribution models, and looks at the sources of funding available including Lottery, European funding and match funding .

We will also look at some of things that might help you reach your goals; pre-sales agreements,  completion guarantees, letters of credit, discounted cash flows, foreign sales contracts, internal rates of return, rolling breaks, gap financing, co-productions - they are all part of the vocabulary of today’s film producers.

The panelists have been invited to illustrate the possibilities open to you for financing films in the UK:

  • Richard Holmes – Creative England

  • Tristan Loraine – Fact Not Fiction Films
  • Francesca Walker - Creative Europe Desk UK
