• Projects must shoot in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (CIOS) region.
• Our investment may be up to £500k investment and is based on a minimum 4:1 spend (Qualifying Spend) ratio.
• Applications for less than £150k, or which shoot for less than a week in the region, are unlikely to be supported unless they are produced, directed or written by Local Talent (see definition of Local Talent in our Guidelines).
• Local Talent may, after discussion with the Screen Cornwall team, apply slightly earlier than applicants who are not resident in the region.
• Your business does not have to be registered in Cornwall to apply, but you must be an experienced producer in the medium for which you are applying.
• We invest in live action or animated: a) narrative feature films; b) scripted television drama or comedy including children’s programming; c) immersive projects produced for paying audiences.  We prioritise projects with Cornish links. 
• Executive Producer fees and legal costs of the transaction will need to be covered by the production.
• SCEPI investment is recoupable as senior equity and projects will be evaluated based on potential return for investment.
• Projects must meet SCEPI Minimum Requirements and our team will be looking for projects which also engage well with the Assessment Criteria.
