Hey

Just as a heads up, applications aren’t usually awarded funding until about August. So you’d be looking at next spring/summer to shoot

Hello!

Yes, I will be applying with my short dramedy film 'As Things Were'. It's about a determined 8-year-old Noah and his younger sister Shannon who grapple with the news of their parents’ divorce, as they devise imaginative schemes to keep the family united. I want to portray divorce from a kids' perspective. Looking at working together with charities and currently looking for producers who want to team up on this project from beginning to end! If you're interested don't hesitate to shoot me a message at nuri.moseinco@gmail.com, I'm always happy to chat with other filmmakers.

Currently, I'm in the process of applying for funds, including the BFI. Consequently, I'm in need of a capable producer who can efficiently manage all assigned tasks. Regrettably, at present, we lack the financial means to compensate a producer unless funding is secured. Would anyone be able to connect me with a producer who may suit these circumstances or offer tips on finding one? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
