Do you dream of making the perfect short film set in Co Donegal but simply don’t have the funding?
Donegal Film Office has secured funding from Creative Ireland for a third year for a Short Film Bursary Award in Donegal.
The Donegal Film Office Short Film Bursary is a creative response to showcase film makers living and working in Donegal.
A grant of €10,000 will be awarded to a filmmaker towards the cost of the production of a short drama or documentary film of 10-12 min duration to be shot in Donegal in 2023. The Bursary aims to foster talent, support creatives, and increase activity in filmmaking in the County.
Applications are being sought from film makers who have a script that has been developed, seen by a Director, and has had input from a Producer.
The Film Office is looking for original, entertaining stories by talented filmmakers who, if selected, must set, and shoot their project in County Donegal.
