INDEXI'm looking for someone to write film proposal for fund and apply to organizations in the UK and overseas. It's paid job.

I finished writing a one-location film called Kitchen. The film talks about a refugee suffering from PTSD/Psychosis struggles to obtain asylum in the UK. Early on a Friday night at his shared house in cosmopolitan London, he finds himself up against a series of incredible events- when all he wants is to forget his worries and enjoy the night.
I'm trying to get fund from UK cultural organizations. I wrote the film pitch, logline, character description, and synopsis. I'm however not expert in writing or applying for the fund. Thus I need someone to help me. And of course, it's gonna be paid job.

It's not A document. You need to write it specifically for EACH fund that you are applying for, so that you can show that the project fit's THEIR requirements exactly.
E.g. - one fund might be interested in highlighting the problems of refugees with PTSD, but another might be looking for projects using "found" cast - i.e. actual refugees, and another might be about supporting art in the Arabic language.
Also - have you identified the funds that you want to contact? If not, then you really need someone who knows that side of things, not just someone who can write a targeted proposal to funds you have identified.
Finally - reality check - there really isn't much money for this sort of thing from such funders, and they will often only do match funding. You should establish what you and your friends can put in.

HI Bashar, I would love to read your script to see how I can help. I am based in Athens, and run an NGO that trains vulnerable young women in citizen journalism, did a project with refugee women in Athens, but we work globally and also have a chapter in London. I write all the grants for this work and have worked as a Produced on over 30 projects, raising the funds via grants and individuals. The grant route for narrative features is a little different and somewhat tricker than for documentaries, but if I can see your script, there are ways to tap into humanitarian (not film) foundations to seek funds. Also, I am American and female, so have access to funds outside of the UK. There are now many initiatives to support female producers and directors specifically. I just raised all the funds for AL JIDAR: THE WALL a short doc/narrative hybrid, produced out of Shatila Refugee camp in Lebanon. Let me know your thoughts, happy to try and help as this subject is dear to me.
