Screen Ireland has announced increases to the budget and award thresholds for the agency's Fiction: Irish Production fund.
Screen Ireland has increased funding thresholds for their Fiction: Irish Production fund with the aim of strengthening support for Irish filmmaking and storytelling on screen. This decision comes in response to global trends and changes across the Irish production landscape.
The updated Production Funding Guidelines 2024 have now been published on the Screen Ireland website and relevant funding pages.
The new thresholds are as follows:
- For projects with budgets of up to €3 million, Screen Ireland can provide up to 70% of the budget with a maximum of €950,000.
- For projects with budgets of over €3 million and not more than €7 million, Screen Ireland can provide up to 65% of the budget, between €1,000,000 and €1,200,000.
- For projects with budgets of over €7 million and not more than €20 million, Screen Ireland can provide up to 65% of the budget, with a maximum of €1,300,000.
Full details and guidelines can be read in the Production Funding Guidelines 2024.
Due to these changes, the April deadline for Production Funding and Distribution Funding has been extended to Tuesday, 30th April at 1pm.
This month’s Development Funding deadline date will remain the same.
