IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY

We invest in a range of initiatives, projects and activities designed to develop talent, audiences and businesses across the country.

Investment Funds, Guidelines and Application Form update - 7 June 2010

Due to the number of high quality projects successfully accessing investment, Scottish Screen has fully allocated the funds from our Content Production Fund and Talent Development Fund.

We have invested just under £590,000 in seven talent development programmes which offer a comprehensive ladder of opportunity for new, emerging and established writers, producers, directors, content creators and digital media talent. These programmes will run over the next 9-12 months. More information on this investment here. 

We also have offers out to nine projects, under the Content Production Fund, that are in the process of raising production finance.  All offers made under the Content Production Fund undergo regular review to ensure progress is being made.  Any updates on the availability of funds from this investment strand will be made in August 2010.

All our other investment strands remain open and details can be found in the Investment Guidelines. 

Please note both the Investment Guidelines and Scottish Screen’s application form have been updated.  The most recent version is dated June 2010.

Any applications for the Talent Development and Content Production Funds received after 5pm on the 7 June 2010 will be returned to the applicant.

Any applications received before close of business on the 7 June 2010 will be reviewed for assessment and if eligible will be processed within 4 – 6 weeks.
