DFG is joining Fast Train, a fantastic FREE training day for TV freelancers produced in partnership with the BBC Academy and Skillset.
Our intensive and information packed masterclass covers how to actually get funding for your documentary, chaired by award-winning filmmaker and producer Andy Glynne, author of Documentaries and How to Make Them.
Our industry panel will examine conventional television streams of funding as well as new and innovative ways of sourcing money, including advertiser funding models.
We'll also take a look at trusts and foundations including BRITDOC, an overview of the world of international finance and co-production, and discuss some of the latest examples of crowd funding for documentary films with Sponsume.
Confirmed speakers include:
Sarah Mosses - Channel 4 BRITDOC Foundation
Gregory Vincent - Sponsume


Fast Train is a free training day for TV freelancers with leading training providers coming together to provide free training.
There are a wide variety of courses, sessions and master classes and an evening networking event for freelancers to meet leading programme makers from independent production companies and the BBC, commissioners and controllers.
All spaces are allocated on a first come first served basis - limited places remain.
