Future Takes - Producer seeking project

2 days, 12 hours ago - Davin Jeayes

Hey SP folks,

I see the next edition of the popular Future Takes short film fund is opening again in September (https://www.bfi.org.uk/get-funding-support/create-films-tv-or-new-formats-storytelling/future-takes)

This is a great new (2nd year) short film fund that will provide up to £90k funding for higher end short films up to 25 min, ideally from a director with a good track record in shorts and a clear career path ahead.
As a producer previously funded by the BFI short film fund I'm looking to team up with a writer/director team to apply for this fund.

Fund opens in Sept and closes late Oct.

Please get in touch if you have an excellent script that would be suitable for this fund :)

and lets use this discussion to team up for other teams

Dear Davin Jeayes,
I have just found out about this funding strand and recognise the deadline is today. This email is for information and to exchange details in the possibility of us working on a joint project in the future.

I have worked in the industry on documentary films over several years and my films are distributed by Cinenova and held in the library at Birkbeck University. They are also screened at festivals in India, Europe and US.

I do have a documentary project in preparation and I would like to work with an independent producer to secure funding if you also find it of interest.

Of course we can exchange our filmography details in due course but as a member of Shooting People I am accepting you have experience in the industry.

So sorry this request is somewhat too late, therefore useless but in the light of SP closing I wanted to find a producer who would be interested in working on documentary projects with me in the future.

Please let me know if any of this is of interest to you.

Yours,
Monika Baker

Currently, my short drama film FREE AGAIN is having some success on the festival circuit as 3 times winner plus semi-finalist in a few more, But this project as writer and director was my finale in a 42 years career as drama director, primarily in continuing drama serials for television. Though still writing, as a director, I am now retired. However, I have written 5 more screenplays for short drama films, yet to be produced and these are waiting for a director to read them and pick up the baton to direct them. Also, I have a short play and drama scenes that might easily adapt to short film screenplays. I'd be willing both to offer these scripts for production and to act as an advisor or director mentor on these projects. If this is of interest, please e-mail me, Nicholas Prosser at nicholas prosser@gmail.com
