Digital Innovation in Film is a new initiative from NESTA and the UK Film Council, which will help drive growth in British independent film companies by encouraging them to take better advantage of new technologies. They are calling film companies, who want to explore the potential of online sales, distribution and marketing, to come forward.

NESTA and the UK Film Council will select up to 10 film companies from across the UK to take part in the project. They will be involved in workshops and receive one-to-one support from “innovation partners” to explore emerging opportunities for new revenue streams.

The initiative is being developed with the Regional Screen Agencies and South West Screen has proposed a joint event with NESTA in Plymouth on the afternoon of 22nd April to explore the detail of the project and workshop the opportunities for South West companies (ahead of the project deadline on 1st May).

If you are interested in attending this event please email Hannah at South West Screen hannah.green@swscreen.co.uk and for more information visit www.nesta.org.uk/programmes/creative_pioneers/partnerships.aspx
