Film - Creative Economy - Programmes - NESTA: "Film

Digital Innovation in Film is a new initiative from NESTA and the UK Film Council, which is helping to drive growth in British independent film companies by encouraging them to take better advantage of new technologies.
How it works

The independent film companies have been paired up with specialist partners, who are helping 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.
