INDEXBFI Short Funding Question
4 years, 11 months ago - Paul W Franklin
I'm applying for the BFI Shorts scheme, and am wondering if anyone knows:
Does it matter if I'm applying as 3-in-1 writer/director/producer?
Do you think I'm more likely to succeed if I have a dedicated producer on board?
cheers.

From the BFI short film funding guidelines:
Projects need to have a writer, director and producer attached before an application can be made. Teams need to have a minimum of two individuals across the three creative roles, e.g. separate individuals who are a writer-director and producer respectively, or a director working with a writer-producer. Director-producers are not eligible to apply.
So, you can't be all three.

Yeah I just realised I'd already downloaded that and not got around to reading it. Sorry, lazy of me!
Thanks
