The OSBD documentary film fund is for emerging young filmmakers aged 18-30 and based in the UK. The purpose of the awards will be to help each awardee create or complete a short form documentary film up to 20 mins duration and offer support with professional development. Alongside the grant will be a comprehensive online mentoring programme culminating in a one-day workshop in Birmingham UK.
The fund is for individuals. 6 equal awards of £1,500 will be made.
The fund is open to anyone, and we are committed to ensuring that disability, background, and identity should not be a barrier. If you need some support in the process and have any questions, please email us at info@osbd.org.
Applications are now open and will close on January 20th 2023 at noon.
The 6 successful awardees will be notified by February 3rd, 2023, via email.
