Finance companies

BFI Film Fund- This is a company that finances independent British film makers. The advantage of this company is that if you pass their application then they will fund your short film. This is effective because usually short film makers do not have a lot of money to spend so if they acquire the funding then they can spend their money in other things for the film. The disadvantage of this company is that they only other you £10,000. This is effective because in film making terms this is a incredibly small budget to work with.

Film4- This is a company that finances feature length films for multi national film makers. The advantage of this company is that you do not have to be British in order to receive funding from this specific company. This is effective because because international film makers usually struggle with getting the funds together for making films. This company would not be useful for my short film because they inly directly fund feature length films.
