In the 2023/24 financial year Screen Cornwall experienced significant growth, doubling the size of our team and expanding activities across all business areas, thanks to funding from UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
In this time we have strengthened our industry partnerships, participated in key policy discussions on minority languages in media, and continued to develop opportunities for local talent in the screen sector. We have championed Cornish language projects, with Kernewek named as a minority language in the media bill for the first time, and thanks to a additional investment from the Devolution Deal for Cornwall we launched our largest ever commissioning round, including Cornish language feature film development strands.
We've seen production spend in region increase to a record £16.2million and watched our Film Office crew database grow. See more of the facts, figures and testimonials that sum up 2023-24 in our latest impact report here.
