FUNDING
Screen Scotland provides funding to producers based in Scotland who are working
in live-action, animation, documentary and broadcast content, to develop a range of
feature film and TV projects that reflect Scotland’s culture, creativity and diversity.
Funding is also available for projects where producers based outside Scotland are
developing and producing projects with writing and/or directing talent based in
Scotland, and that promote Scotland, Scottish talent, crews, locations and tourism,
and also benefit the Scottish economy.
Film Development and Production Fund
Our £4million Film Development and Production Fund can consider applications for
feature films that will be made in co-production with Scotland, where these involve
Scottish based talent. For more information please see our funding guidance at:

An after dark joyride drives a small-town fish worker to risk everything. For
30-something Finnie, the daily grind of working in a fish factory and providing for his
family has numbed him to the point where he can no longer be emotionally available
to his wife and kids. Having taken on too much responsibility too soon, the pain of
remembering himself as an arrogant, carefree teen who spent his nights racing cars
through the streets is just too great. He borrows his son Kid’s car for an after dark
joyride, one that might lead to a new understanding of himself- or might cost him
everything.
