A dozen independent film productions and companies have received awards under the UK Global Screen Fund, it has been announced.

The Global Screen Fund launched a £7million pilot scheme last April to help independent British films reach international audiences.

In total, it has awarded 66 prizes reaching almost £5 million across its three funding streams, international business development, distribution and co-production.

The program is funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and developed in partnership with the British Film Institute (BFI).

Included in the latest round of awards, totaling over half a million pounds, is a documentary about British musician George Ezra titled End To End.

The film, directed by Adam Scarborough and Christy Tattershall, follows the singer as he travels the country to learn more about British musical tradition.

Pretty Red Dress, written and directed by British filmmaker Dionne Edwards, also received an international distribution award, alongside director Mark Jenkin’s horror film Enys Men.

Companies to receive the UK Global Screen Fund’s International Business Development Awards include Magic Light Pictures, whose animated specials have become a centerpiece of BBC One’s Christmas Day programme, and Quiddity Films, which is the company behind Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth movie Supernova.

Creative Industries Minister Julia Lopez said: “Our UK Global Screen Fund has made a huge difference to UK businesses looking to showcase their content on the global stage.”

Last month, the DCMS announced that a further £21 million would be invested in the Global Screen Fund to boost the international success of the UK screen industry.
