  6. Arts Council England Where Arts Council England varies from many other funding bodies is that it Offers grants instead of loans Grants are given to individuals rather than production companies The Arts Council is not just for film, other art forms can benefit such as dance, fine art and theatre

  7. Creative England Following the announcement of the abolition of the UK Film Council in July 2010, the Government confirmed continued support for the film and media industry outside of London. The agencies have since been working with DCMS to decide on the best structure of this support, in order to secure a strong future for the UK’s creative industries.

  8. Reforms to the Video Recordings Act 1984 There is currently a petition underway to reform the VRA, this reform would allow self funded and independent filmmakers to make money from their own films by opting for the voluntary 18 certificate Currently the BBFC charges between £615 and £730 to certify a film. Opting for the voluntary 18 certificate would take that cost out of producing independent films, allowing small time productions to sell and market their own wares

  9. Other Options • Selling To A Production Company • Selling To A Distribution Company • Securing A Loan • Fund Raising • Using A Credit Card • Selling Your Blood
