Over 6 months, successful creative teams will gain access to one-to-one consultancy sessions, online workshops and mentoring. This will be a rare opportunity for comedy projects to be developed in a constructive and practical development environment where they will be able to participate in peer-to-peer and professional feedback.
- Script Consultancy & Feedback
- Story Workshop & Consultancy
- Finance & Film Packaging Intensive Workshops
Teams will leave Funny Features with extensive knowledge of the film finance landscape, heightened confidence in navigating the marketplace, a clearer understanding of their market placement, a widened network of decision-makers, a film finance package, a polished draft of their script and a project ready to enter the international marketplace to begin securing financing.
Funny Features is the only UK talent development lab that provides talent with a rare opportunity to develop their comedy features to a point where they are ready to secure finance. This targeted development and training will increase the chances of independent UK comedies reaching the big screen for audiences to enjoy nationally and internationally and empower filmmakers to navigate the global film market.
Funny Features is delivered by Glasgow Film Festival through the BFI Creative Challenge Fund, made possible with National Lottery Funding. Curzon are Headline Partners for Funny Features 2025-26.
Applications close on Tuesday 7 October at 12 noon.
