Funding is available for large scale feature films (both live-action and animated) and high-end television productions (both drama and factual) that will:

• create employment and career development opportunities for crews in Scotland
• use and develop production infrastructure in Scotland
• work with facilities companies in Scotland
• deliver a direct and significant economic benefit to the screen production sector in Scotland

Your projects can be shot and/or post-produced wholly or partially in Scotland.  

You can apply for funding of between £200,000 and £500,000 to help cover production costs. You must have a minimum Scottish spend of 10:1 to apply. For example, if you apply for £200,000, your production must spend at least £2,000,000 in Scotland. 

Yes, if you:

• are a film production company registered in the UK
• have an eligible screen project in an advanced stage of development and financing
• aim to start budgeted prep within 12 weeks of getting this funding

It is free to apply.

The funding award is non-recoupable, paid retrospectively, and is compatible with the UK Film, High End TV and Animation Tax Reliefs. Funding is disbursed as 10% on signature of Funding Agreement and 
90% on receipt and approval of accounts, evidence of training plan delivery and that all parts of the funding agreement were met. As such, the Production Growth Fund award will require being cash-flowed via another source. Full details can be found in the fund guidance on Screen Scotland's website. 

Film production companies registered in the UK that are planning to film in Scotland.
