It’s about giving them a really healthy budget to make something that can be on Netflix and hopefully kickstart their career as film-makers – especially British film-makers, making commercial films our audiences love.
Hannah Perks, Netflix’s manager of UK films, said the £1.5m budget would allow them to focus on the creative side.
“They’re not going to have to think about putting that financing together – and their film will be shown on Netflix globally.
Netflix will accept applications from across the creative spectrum – theatre, TV, video gaming, online content, commercials, graphic novels, music promos and short films.
