Hmm, this popped into my in box a month back off one of the lists I am on. That isnt a great deal of cash for a 'broadcast quality' piece of finished documentary / journalism and it really isonly pitchable from experienced teams, but i am sure it will result in something worthy if not a money maker for those involved.

This is the sort of thing i hope to pitch for after I finish my MA and get some less ambitious projects finished.

I was suprised to see just how much funding is around for Video and british cinema production. I was looking at doing a short, which I think is around 4K to 10K, I guess the money is worth it depending on how you would work, if you are talking two days work - one shot day, one edit day them its a good

I dont think you really grasp what making a film means. That money has to be pitched for, with a story outline, a story board, production cost estimates... and loads more. A show reel of previous films helps too.

That money is for REAL films, not one day made up as you learn you tube disasters.
