Screen West Midlands Unable To Help At Present

Sadly I received the rejection letter yesterday from Screen West Midlands. We’d applied for some financial help for the investor screenings we're having in Feb. It was a long shot asking them for help and without them to date; we certainly wouldn't have the spectacular FX sequences and artwork we now have. But it was worth the try. Sometimes you have to lose the odd battle to win the war and we're in this for the long term.

Keep the faith!

Kaleidoscope Man Business Plans Doing The Rounds

Ken and I have been busy getting the business plan into new potential funding areas.

I am in touch with a local group of Business Angels who I’m hoping may be interested in the tax breaks and the opportunity to be involved with our movie. To register with this group we do have to pay a fee, so I will be doing some serious research into the real feasibility of getting funded before we part with any cash.

From the research I've already done it does seem that Business Angel Networks do require cash up from as well as a percentage of the sum raised.

I’m still busy on the Charles Dickens Documentary. I delivered a rough cut just before Christmas and start on the fine cut with Julian (the Director) on Tuesday. We should have the fine cut by the end of the month.
