The register, in detail
A register
kept by people
The screens below are drawn from the register as it stands today. The figures are real and each one of them can be traced to the funder that published it.
Open calls
Every deadline the register holds for the months ahead, open and forthcoming. The last two columns are the ones that matter: what state the call is in, and how the row was established.
| Deadline | Fund | Programme | Country | Status | How we know |

Real funds, real published deadlines · Register extract of {AS_AT} · Not a live feed
Someone opened the funder's own page or guidelines document and confirmed the row.
Taken from the funder's own site, not yet re-opened by a person.
Machine-read and waiting for a person. Never sent to a filmmaker in this state.
The record
Pick a discipline and a stage and read what the fund actually did. These are published decisions, counted and measured, not estimates. Choose any combination: where the register has nothing yet, it says so rather than filling the gap.

The call
One programme, as the funder publishes it. Every line below is the fund's own wording or a figure counted from its own results.

The last session, in numbers
Real programme, real published rules, in the funder's own words
The calendar
Every deadline the register holds, laid out by month. Funds run their years in sessions, so calls cluster: four separate priorities close on one day this September, which a list would hide.

Your desk
This is where your letters live. Every document a fund will ever ask of you takes shape here: treatment, synopsis, director's statement, built from everything you tell us about your film.
You write the way Vincent wrote to Theo, in your own words, about your own film. The desk does the tuning to the fund reading it, its stated priorities, its actual funding record, and to the jury sitting this session.
Leave, and the drafts wait. Return, and the desk remembers everything. Nothing leaves it until it is ready, and by the time the deadline arrives you are sending a finished correspondence, in your film's own voice, to the room it was written for.

Your thread
How should I open the treatment for this one?
The reader leading this jury spent twenty years in the edit suite. Write it in beats and arcs, and show her you can already see the film cut.
Maria's arc turns on three beats: the first door she photographs belongs to a stranger, the twentieth to a friend, and the last one is her own.
We can tell you who sits on the commission, what it has chosen in past sessions, and what the fund actually paid. Then we help you write a letter with all three in front of you.
Illustrative example. The drafting is done by AI, working from what you have told us about your film. You are always the author. We never submit anything on your behalf.

The discipline behind it
Before it reaches you
The funder's own words
Every entry starts at the funder's own site or its guidelines document. Never an aggregator, never another list of lists.
The document version and its date are recorded with the entry, so you can tell whether a rule changed under you.A person opens it
Nothing reaches a filmmaker on a machine's say-so. An entry stays in draft until someone has opened the source and confirmed it line by line.
The register records who checked it and on what date, and a date when it has to be looked at again.It carries its source with it
Each fact keeps a link back to where it came from. When you ask why a deadline says what it says, there is an answer.
Anything still waiting for a person is marked as a draft, in the register and on this page.What comes next
The register is the part we are building first. Around it, in time:
- A network of mentors
- Live coaching sessions
- Webinars and masterclasses on fund writing and pitching
- Training and education for filmmakers earlier in their careers
None of this is built, and no mentor or coach is signed.
