UK Film Council
The UK Film Council is the Government backed lead agency for film in the UK, ensuring that the economic, cultural and educational aspects of film are effectively represented at home and abroad.
Digital Innovation in Film
Digital Innovation in Film is a new initiative from NESTA and the UK Film Council, which will help drive growth in British independent film companies by encouraging them to take better advantage of new technologies.
How it works
The 'Digital Innovation in Film' project will team-up independent film companies with specialist partners to reach audiences in new ways.
The project is the first in a series from NESTA's Innovators Growth programme, which will explore ways for creative businesses to grow by exploiting new technologies.
Successful film participants
Together with the UK Film Council, we’ve selected 12 independent film companies from 50 entries. The successful participants are at different stages in the business lifecycle, ranging from incorporating film production, through to distribution and sales.
The 12 businesses are:
• B3 Media
• BreakThru Films
• Film Export UK
• Hollywood Classics
• Lux
• Metrodome Distribution
• Mosaic Films
• onedotzero
• Revolver Entertainment
• Vod Almighty
• Warp Films
• Zini Limited
Over the next 18 months they will be teamed up with specialist partners, who will help them to develop the content, marketing and digital distribution potential of their films. Our two partner teams are Huge Entertainment, and MTM London and Illumina Digital.
Each company will receive a specially tailored programme of financial/business planning support to help them identify and deliver opportunities for new forms of distribution. The business support programme is designed to improve each company’s potential for growth and investment.
