Future North East

Future North East is our tailored leadership and development programme for ten ambitious independent production companies based in the North East of England.

The two-year growth scheme, which we run in partnership with North East Screen, began in July 2023. It provides the selected companies with access to industry experts and the tools to help grow their businesses domestically and internationally.
