Development funding is critical

Critical as it means that projects can be turned from ideas into plans of action, making new projects viable. It enables the early research of an idea to take place, leading to the shaping of how the film might look. As thorough research of content is pivotal to documentaries, such research periods can be prolonged, sometimes complex.

Additionally, for films that can have a campainging outreach, web-site development may also be part of the development strategy from the beginning of the project, so this too may be an important item to build into the development budget.

Therefore, 10% of your donation will go into a small fund for the development of new projects,  essential to kick-starting films.
