Aims: To guide filmmakers and journalists on a single project, and provide a supportive network of mentors and peers through the production and completion of their project.
To champion diverse emerging talent, and particularly encourage submissions from underrepresented groups as well as from people from and based in the global south.
Fellows Receive:
- £1,000 production grant

What projects are they looking for:
- Projects in pre-production that tell engaging stories from low- and middle-income countries across the global south
- Non-fiction media across all platforms: film, print, audio, photojournalism, and multimedia
- Proposals where majority of the budget is in place or achievable in a short time-frame
- Projects that can be delivered within a year – for films this is under 30 mins
- Stories that are strong enough to be published or broadcast in established media outlets. We are looking for genuine journalism or documentary and will fund media that could ultimately appear in existing newspapers, magazines, radio, TV channels, professional news websites and online platforms, etc.
