Who can apply
The page describes development aid for audiovisual fiction projects, but the funder is not identified. Beneficiaries may vary by scheme: producer, production company, author or co-producer. Identify the precise scheme and its guidance before stating the eligibility criteria.
Eligibility conditions
The development phase generally funds work done before production, but the costs accepted, formats of works, independence criteria and application conditions vary from one scheme to another. No precise criterion should be treated as verified until the funder and the rules have been identified.
What the scheme covers
For this project, document precisely the following operations: writing and rewriting, series bible, synopsis, full script with dialogue, location scouting or development work expressly accepted by the scheme concerned. For each item, attach a separate quote or a cost breakdown, the necessary technical details and an explanation of the link with the aid’s objective. Costs already incurred, recurring subscriptions or items not explicitly provided for must be validated before being included.
Amount and funding terms
No figure for a cap is recorded. The exact funder remains to be confirmed in the source data; amounts and criteria should not be inferred from another CNC or regional scheme. A reference cap is neither a flat rate nor a commitment to award. The amount depends on the costs accepted, the funding rate and the funder’s decision.
How to apply
Search for the exact title in the funder’s official catalogue and obtain the guidance for the aid concerned. Prepare the artistic file, development budget and financing plan, then have the eligible beneficiaries and application dates confirmed.
