I have looked around but I can't seem to find many options to apply for documentary funding in the UK. I had some interest from a sponsor who offered to fund the entire project at £6000. We agreed terms and everything however I haven't since received a reply. Therefore I am looking for alternative methods of funding. I am planning to fund as much as possible out of my own pocket as it is something that means a lot to me.
Basically the idea of the documentary is to showcase the work of organisations, NGOs and community projects set up by Thai and Burmese people working on the Thai-Burmese border. The aim of the documentary is to veer away from the eurocentric thinking that many documentaries about NGOs can often take and highlight what the local people are doing to help each other.
I have tried every possible pathway I can think of and have even set up a crowd funding page and even though I have sent it to other 5000 people personally nothing has come about from that.
I have had equipment donated from some top companies such as rycote, think tank, peak design and beachtek but I still have some way to go. If I can't get funding, the project will still go ahead and I will have to use what I currently own to do the best I can possibly do, however the quality of the documentary will obviously suffer. Considering this cause means a lot to me I want to give it the best possible chance of succeeding and producing something that will do these people justice. Does anybody know of any source in the UK that I could apply to?
