Beacons 1:1 sessions

These informal 1:1s are for filmmakers seeking tailored guidance on applying to the Beacons Short film fund. 

1:1s last up to 30 minutes and take place via phone or video call. 

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance. Our team is not able to review application materials such as scripts, pitch decks or budgets. We cannot provide any editorial guidance or pre-assess. Simply come with your questions about the application process. 

 As places are limited, please note:
