"You represent the future..."
Director of BFS
Jonathan Carr
Director of Bournemouth Film School, Jonathan Carr, says 'Our BFS Funding Futures scheme is unique to the HE environment. It is our response to the dwindling opportunities for seed and production funding in the creative industries.
'We at BFS are passionate about promoting collaboration, innovation and progressive change. Funding Futures represents our ethos, and the cross-disciplinary nature of our unique range of programmes.
'Funding Futures also aims to reflect the social and technological changes we are seeing in the film industry that are sparking new creative challenges and opportunities and revolutionising the ways in which we work. You represent this future, and we look forward to working with you on your projects, and on the development of this scheme over the coming years.'
Founder & Fund Manager, Will Shutt adds 'I am delighted with the foresight and support of Jonathan & BFS to get behind this initiative. Being fortunate to have received numerous funding opportunities, I know first-hand the integral impact that schemes such as Funding Futures can have on the development of people and careers.
'BFS & AUB are uniquely placed with its vibrant community, second-to-none facilities and its reputational influence, all of which will contribute significantly to everything we are creating at Funding Futures. I'm thrilled to be part of your journey and see what you create.'
