Discover Funding Opportunities

Production Growth Fund

The Production Growth Fund aims to draw large scale film and TV productions into Scotland. The fund is designed to create inclusive employment opportunities for crews in Scotland, encourage the use of production facilities in Scotland, and support diversified skills development and progression. The fund supports live-action and animated features, and live-action and animated high-end television drama or factual returnable series that demonstrate the ability to create employment and career development opportunities for crew based in Scotland, use and develop production infrastructure in Scotland, work with facilities companies based in Scotland, and deliver a direct and significant economic benefit to the screen production sector in Scotland. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the fund has been fully allocated in each financial year. Applicants must have an eligible screen project which is in an advanced stage of development and financing, and should be aiming to commence budgeted prep within 12 weeks of a funding decision being made. A minimum Scottish spend of £2,000,000 is required to meet the criteria.

Broadcast Content Fund

The Broadcast Content Fund aims to help the sustainable growth of Scotland's broadcast production sector, encouraging the development of new projects, the scaling up of already successful activities and the production of commissioned programmes. The Fund will prioritise projects which have the potential to generate lasting benefits to build companies of scale, reflect or promote Scottish culture, creativity and diversity, as well as projects which offer significant opportunities to people currently under-represented in the screen sector. The Broadcast Content Fund accepts applications for all genres of broadcast content including factual and scripted programming where there is a clear and demonstrable need for public funding. The fund offers two routes: Broadcast Content Development Funding for development costs of a single project or slate of projects, and Broadcast Content Production Funding for production costs of a single project (one-off or series).
