Developing opportunities in Singapore

Multi-Platform Content Across Continents

Please note that the deadline for applying to this scheme has now passed. Check back to find out more about the winning projects as they are announced.

South West Screen has joined forces with Singapore’s Media Development Authority (MDA) to launch a new funding initiative, ‘Multi-Platform Content Across Continents’, providing development funding of up to £50,000 for up to two selected projects.

Singapore is envisaged as a Global Media City, Asia's leading media marketplace and financing hub, one where quality content is produced and digital media is developed. The city-state is also home to international games and animation giants like Lucas Film Animation, Electronic Arts and Ubisoft. In this Asian media utopia, media services and projects are created, developed, traded and distributed to the international market.

The South West Screen-MDA co-development initiative calls for Singapore and South West production and digital media companies to work together to co-develop concepts with multi-platform potential and cross-media elements. The Initiative is open to proposals across genres, with specific interest in the following: Children’s Series (including Animation), Drama Series, Documentary Series, Factual Entertainment Series.
 
MDA and South West Screen will support companies to find co-production partnerships and will jointly provide development funding of up to £50,000 for up to two selected projects. The £25,000 for each selected project will be shared equally between the Singaporean and South West co-production partner.
