The Young Black Filmmakers Fund from London Breeze and TikTok offers up to £10,000, mentorship from Alex Kayode-Kay, and a UK premiere at The Ritzy in 2026 to help emerging Black British filmmakers aged 18–30 take their next serious step. It’s aimed at creative teams who are already active and ready to go, with a short film script (10–12 pages), a clear vision and a proposed budget of up to £10,000. At least two of the team must be Black British, including either the writer or director. Submissions are open from 14 April to 1 August 2025 via My SMASH Media, with a live pitch at London Breeze 2025 and a premiere the following year.
