what we do
Screen Yorkshire's mission is to support and grow Yorkshire's film, TV, games and digital industries by investing in production and creative talent.
Screen Yorkshire invests in production through the innovative £15m Yorkshire Content Fund. The largest fund of its kind in the UK, the Yorkshire Content Fund is funded with £7,500,000 of investment from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which will be matched by private investment on a project-by-project basis.
Our latest investments include Peaky Blinders and '71, Catch Me Daddy, Girls' Night Out, A Miracle and Great Train Robbery
Screen Yorkshire invests in creative talent through a number of different talent development schemes each year, some of which are focused on Yorkshire talent and others which are UK-wide schemes.
Currently we are running The List trainee scheme for film and high-end TV and Triangle 2013 film development scheme for writer, producer and director teams.
The Yorkshire Content Fund is supported financially by the European Union. It has attracted £7.5 million investment from the European Regional Development Fund as part of Europe’s support for the region’s economic development through the Yorkshire and Humber ERDF Programme 2007-13.
