Q: How should ideas be submitted?
A: Due to the sheer volume of material we receive here, unfortunately we cannot consider unsolicited material that does not come from a producer or agent. Instead we find and encourage new filmmaking talent through our proactive development process and our traditionally strong links with independent producers and literary agents, as well as via our short film schemes.

Q: What type of films are you looking for?
A: All our films will be theatric films, rather than television films, but ultimately we are looking for these films to play on Channel 4 following their theatric life. We are looking for range across our subject matter and budgets, though these will tend to be contemporary stories which are British talent led.
