Apply for $10,000 Fresh Shorts Funding to start getting a name with them and a proven track record
Get a small crew together when applying for this, doesn't need a known producer.
They haven't funded many animations in the past because people haven't applied for animation funding.
SIT supports graduates by giving them funding in-kind (equipment, computer, render farm, interns, etc.)
Applying for $30,000 fund requires a known producer and there are ones in the area who will take on small projects for reduced fees.
Film proposals assessed by:
- filmmaking talent involved
- idea and strength of project
- director's voice
- quality of script
- point of difference
- ability to deliver project
This is all the kind of stuff we've got experience making up- gantt charts, proposal, storyboards, etc.
Speaker: Nick Garrett from NZFC (New Zealand Film Commission)
We can also pay grants for more schooling in a specific area, like writing (did I hear that correctly?)
People who are shortlisted for funding, like the 10k 30k Fresh shorts, get taken on a development course (weekend), then a decision of yes or no is made. No answers also come with feedback.
Not many people apply, so it's totally worth applying.
Call NZFC and ask questions about the application or process and remember there is room to NEGOTIATE. What's on the website shouldn't be taken as complete gospel.
Interactive stories- games or films (like what Netflix is trialling) is a new funding scheme. Money is available because not many people are doing it and it's new technology/interesting.
Hub in Auckland will be down on Halsey St. near Winyard Quarter for filmmakers to gather/work/interact with NZFC.
The same people get approved for funding over and over and over. NZonAir is an example of this kind of funding thinking.
Good talk!
