FILM COUNCIL INVEST £202,636 IN FILM PROJECTS

THE Film Council's Development Fund have announced their second raft of single film projects with a total investment of £202,636.
The fund's investments aim to broaden the quality, range and ambition of British film projects and talent being developed, bringing together screenwriters, script editors, directors, producers and a mixture of other creative talents to increase the number of quality scripts moving to production.
With a dedicated £15 million over three years the fund will, over time, build creatively focused relationships with a breadth of talent from ‘first timers’ to experienced practitioners. Investing in projects at all stages of development, the fund also seeks to enable British film companies to grow sustainable businesses.
The projects are as follows: Grand Ambition; In Every Dream Home; One Fine Day In The Middle Of The Night; Revolving Door; The Rose Grower; The Third Day; Sensation; Salsa Con Fusion; Ultramaroon and Blood Relative. (CD)
