advantage development fund
Please note the advantage development fund is now closed for submissions. We do not anticipate holding any further funding rounds in 2008; please keep an eye on this page for details of any further deadlines for this scheme or sign up to the Screen WM newsletter to receive regular updates.
After a successful first stage in 2006, the advantage development fund was relaunched in early 2008. As well as continuing to support development activity across film and television, we expanded and improved the digital media side of the scheme.
We also increased the total amount you can apply for in any single award to £50,000.
The advantage development fund is targeted at enabling new and existing screen-based media companies to undertake research and development work to bring new products to market. It is intended to enable applicants to overcome market failure in the most high risk areas of industry by encouraging such companies to develop projects to a higher standard before taking them to market.
The fund can be used for projects across all screen media including broadcast, feature film, video games and serious games, and interactive media, and we can support a wide range of activity including script development, pre- production packaging, ideas generation and slate project funding. The advantage development fund is intended to support new and existing screen media companies in developing new projects to take to market.
