INDEXIs there a co-producer interested in helping raise finance for an Asian family fantasy/comedy short qualifying for tax relief?

We are script ready with 'Last Dance...', a 13min short, have locations sorted, a budget, shooting schedule and an interim certificate qualifying for tax relief. I'm the writer/director but having moved out of London, am keen to find someone preferably in Yorkshire to work with to get this project off the ground. I have an MA in Screenwriting and my first short screenplay won a Fuji Student Award for production, but having spent years working with screenwriters, am keen to be back on production.
The story: At odds with the sombre mood of her mother’s funeral arrangements, singleton Latha stages an astonishing coup, steals her mother's corpse and embarks on a reminiscent journey with reckless, joyous abandon.
There is a small team of people committed to this project - cast and crew. Ideally I want to build a relationship with a co-producer to move towards a feature around a disability theme. Please, if there's anyone out there who finds a connection with this, please e-mail me.

Hiya,
I'm not sure which tax reliefs you have, I'm assuming DCMS tax credits? They are accessible to commercial feature films destined for theatrical release and require a limited company if so, I'm pretty sure. You might want to clarify or check just in case you do yourself a disservice!
All the best,
