Donegal County Council’s Film Office, in collaboration with Creative Ireland, has announced a new funding initiative.
The Emerging Talent Fund is designed to empower an emerging writer, producer, or director by providing vital support to secure their first production credit.
The Donegal Film Office says at its core, this initiative is about building confidence, enhancing skills, and creating meaningful opportunities within the local industry, and beyond.
Successful applicants will have access to a panel of industry professionals. This mentorship will ensure expert feedback, practical support, and invaluable insights throughout the filmmaking process.
Additionally, the Film Office will offer hands-on assistance, providing location advice, securing necessary permits, and connecting filmmakers with crew, services, accommodation and extras. This wrap around service offers a security blanket to the recipient and the learning will support them when making applications to national bodies.
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.
Aideen Doherty from the Donegal Film Office says the fund is a stepping stone to help local filmmakers secure national funding.
