What advice would you give to young film makers looking for funding?
Hi Ashleigh – Good question! And not one we’re best placed to answer. But we do have a suggestion – not sure where you’re based, but if you are in London, make contact with Latimer Creative Media: http://latimercreativemedia.com/what-we-do/ They have a monthly ‘Latimer Talks’ event where young film makers meet and network with each other as well as producers, directors and execs.
