what we do
Screen Yorkshire is delighted to announce the launch of its new £15m Yorkshire Content Fund, marking a new era for the creative content industries in Yorkshire and Humber, and securing Screen Yorkshire’s long term future.
Screen Yorkshire will invest in content within TV, film, video games and the digital sectors in Yorkshire and Humber through the innovative new Yorkshire Content Fund. The largest fund of its kind in the UK, the Yorkshire Content Fund is managed by Screen Yorkshire and 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.
Screen Yorkshire will invest in content creation by Yorkshire-based companies as well as being used to attract productions looking to locate within the region. Investments are made on market rate commercial terms in order to produce a legacy fund to support content development and production in Yorkshire for many years to come. Screen Yorkshire has a strategic alliance with Finance Yorkshire to ensure investment funds are complementary and offer the region’s SMEs the widest range of investment and support.

The fund is launched on the back of a number of critically acclaimed projects which previously received Screen Yorkshire investment including Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur and Ben Wheatley’s Kill List, from Sheffield’s Warp X, and Andrea Arnold’s new version of Wuthering Heights. Screen Yorkshire has invested in content for the last ten years - see previous Screen Yorkshire investments.
