Requirements/Eligibility Criteria

Open to international applicants aged 18 or over.
Must have previously directed at least one completed documentary film (short or feature-length) or comparable authored non-fiction work selected for a recognised film festival, commissioned, or distributed by an established broadcaster, editorial, or documentary platform.
The lead applicant must serve as the director of the proposed film (co-directors are welcome, but one must be nominated as lead).
Limited to one entry per individual, whether as a lead director or co-director.
Must have a legally registered production company in place at the point of application, as funds cannot be paid directly to an individual.

Award Details and Project Scope

The fund awards five grants of £20,000 each. Each recipient will create a 10-minute documentary alongside accompanying social content. Keep in mind that the £20,000 award must cover the full cost of making and delivering the film and its supporting materials, as projects cannot bring additional production finance and must be realistically achievable within this budget and the agreed delivery timeline.
