Calling producers working on projects in the South West

Screen Cornwall is pleased to partner with BFI NETWORK South West and Exeter Phoenix again to create a third iteration of the Peninsula Producers Network, a development group for new and emerging producers in Devon and Cornwall.

This cohort will receive peer support and guidance, in a series of events held both online and in person, to develop their producing skills and expand their knowledge of distribution and audiences. These sessions will have a focus on career pathways. The final session will be an in-person event at the Two Short Nights Film Festival at Exeter Phoenix in February.


  Who can apply?

  • The Peninsula Producers Network is open to emerging and aspiring producers living in Devon or Cornwall. Applicants must be able to prove their address. 

  • Individuals who are over 18 and not in full-time education.

  • The scheme is aimed at those who have a track record of short films and are currently working on a project, but if you don’t currently have a project please apply anyway and we can try to match you with an active local project.

  • Successful applicants will be expected to commit to all sessions and able to travel to Exeter and Cornwall on the dates listed. Please consider this when applying. Bursaries are available to support travel/child care.
