UK Global Screen Fund:International Co-production
All Information
The UK Global Screen Fund's International Co-production strand supports experienced independent UK producers working with international partners to develop and produce films and selected television projects. The fund aims to strengthen the international reach of UK screen production while encouraging collaborations that have credible financing plans and the potential to reach audiences in multiple markets. The grant can support qualifying feature-film co-productions, including animation and documentaries, as well as eligible animation and documentary television co-productions. This may be relevant to a Nigerian production company seeking to collaborate with a qualified UK producer on a film with a strong international story and a credible finance plan. However, the UK producer must be the applicant, and the project must meet the fund's specific UK financing and co-production requirements.
