Calling producers in the far south west!

Screen Cornwall is pleased to partner with BFI NETWORK South West and Exeter Phoenix to create a second iteration of the Peninsula Producers Network, a development group for new and emerging producers in the far South West.

Our second cohort will receive support and expert guidance, in a series of three events held both online and in person, to develop their producing skills. These sessions will draw upon the expert advice of producers local to our region, including Kate Byers and Linn Waite of Early Day Films (BAIT) and Denzil Monk of Bosena (ENYS MEN). The final session will be an in-person event at the Two Short Nights Film Festival at Exeter Phoenix in February.

  Who can apply?

  •   The Peninsular Producers Network is open to emerging and aspiring producers living in Devon or Cornwall. Applicants must be able to prove their address. 

  • Individuals who are over 18 and not in full-time education

  • The scheme is aimed at those who have a track record of short films and are looking for funding to take their filmmaking to the next level.

  • Successful applicants will be expected to commit to all three sessions and will be to travel to Exeter and Cornwall on the dates listed. Please consider this when applying. Bursaries are available to support travel/child care.
