Open for Applications: Peninsula Producers Network 2025
Screen Cornwall and Exeter Phoenix are pleased to partner with BFI NETWORK South West again to create a fourth iteration of the Peninsula Producers Network, a development programme designed specifically for new and emerging producers in Devon and Cornwall. This programme will run in parallel with our New Writers Network.
The Peninsula Producers 2025 cohort will receive support and guidance, in a series of events held online and in person, to develop their producing skills and expand their knowledge of distribution and audiences for primarily scripted content, although creative documentary and immersive content makers are also welcome. The final session will be an in-person event at the Two Short Nights Film Festival at Exeter Phoenix in February 2025.
