'Well, that's quite a story' Our brand new showreel just dropped 🎬 We’re proud to support, develop and fund early career writers, directors and producers across the UK. Want to stay in the loop on funding calls, talent development labs and creative opportunities? Sign up to our newsletter — link in bio. 18 Jun 2025

NEW BBC WRITERS BLOG POST - Northern Directors 📢 In addition to the BBC Writers team within BBC Drama Commissioning and our work finding, developing and championing scriptwriters, the Drama team also work to support upcoming directors. Recently the BBC partnered with Film Hub North and regional productions to offer an on-set placement and mentoring scheme for new directors, recognising that forging a career as a director is incredibly challenging and understanding that a gap exists between BFI NETWORK funding and a sustainable career. Working with Clerkenwell Films, Left Bank Pictures and Sister Pictures, the scheme gave seven talented early career directors the chance to experience being on the set of a high-end TV broadcast production, whilst receiving support and guidance from a director who has already bridged that gap. Through an open call out, candidates were selected for a two week on-set placement, on a production shooting in the north of England, gaining direct exposure to the creative and technical processes involved in bringing scenes to life. To help embed their learning and support future development, Film Hub North identified and facilitated two mentor sessions with an established director giving the participants space to ask for guidance on career development, future opportunities, and creative approaches. The seven directors and their placements were: Shy & Lola - Paul Chambers, Claire Molloy, Jack McLoughlin The Split Up - Iqbal Mohammed, Gitika Buttoo This City Is Ours - Dhivya Kate Chetty, Em J Gilbertson The scheme returned again with applications open in summer 2026 for placements on the upcoming BBC drama Hercule from Mammoth Screen and Agatha Christie Limited. Northern Directors was made possible with the support of BFI NETWORK, awarding National Lottery funding. You can read more about this amazing opportunity and hear first-hand from those involved in the scheme on the BBC Writers Blog ✍️ 05 Nov 2026

Field Work is about beginning in place, your place. Rural, coastal, local, specific. Itʼs about building from where you already are, seeing that context not as limitation but as material, perspective, centre. Field Work will support ten early career film producers from rural and coastal places outside of major screen industry centres, who have a narrative feature film project in active development. Field Work is a 24-week online programme to develop your industry knowledge and business skills base; developing a specific project in this context. The programme includes Field Notes, a 5-day in-person residency to deepen your understanding, creative instincts & approaches. 10 producers. 10 projects. We are looking for early-career producers based in rural or coastal areas of the UK, not in a major city. You must have 2+ years producing experience on narrative shorts and/or micro-low-budget features. You must have an active project with a developed treatment or draft screenplay, with writer and director attached. Field Work matters because there are not enough voices from rural or coastal places in the UK screen industry, everything gets filtered through a centralising, urban lens. This programme has the potential to make a real change, an improvement to diversity and equity for one and all. Field Work is delivered by @bosenafylm , in association with @dyski.co , supported by the BFI National Lottery Creative Challenge Fund, awarding National Lottery Good Cause funding. Expression of Interest Deadline: 30th September 2026 Full Application Deadline: 16 October 2026 Interviews: 26-29 October 2026 Field Work Commencement: 8 December 2026 Field Notes Residential (Cornwall): 5 days 17-22 Jan 2027 Field Work End: May 2027 You must have availability to attend all sessions, including the 5-day residency.
