A Bigger Future

A Bigger Future is the training and education strategy for the UK's film industry. It was first developed with the UK Film Council and in consultation with the film industry in 2003 and has shaped our work ever since.
After extensively consulting with the film industry in 2009, we are preparing for the next phase of our work in film which will start in April 2010 and span over three years; the outcomes of the consultation will be launched in the new year.
We need to keep our funding programmes, initiatives and partnerships responding to both new and ongoing requirements of the industry, so the workforce remains highly skilled and competitive on a global scale.
In this section you can read what we have done so far in the first five years of A Bigger Future and more.
