Creative Collab Fund

---

Creative Collab Fund (CCF) is a new initiative set out to give support to fresh new talent and offer creatives paid opportunities to collaborate. What is it?

• When life gets moving Do or Die Studios are going to get creatives together and begin to produce short scenes.

• We will open applications for writers to send duologues and successful writers will be paid from the fund.

• We will need actors for these scenes who will be cast through self tapes - successful actors will also be paid PLUS they will receive showreel material for free.

• We will then get a filmmaker/director involved who will also be paid - we want to work closely with filmmaking school students and graduates.

• We will also ensure industry professional mentors are on hand for any guidance and tips.
