The BBC today unveiled the 57 companies that have won cash funding through the 2024 round of its Small Indie Fund. Launched in 2020, the fund was established to support the growth of small independent production companies across the UK with turnovers below £10m across drama, entertainment, comedy, factual, daytime, and children’s.
For the first time this year, the fund also supports BBC Film. All recipients receive what the BBC described as “strategic investment” and a BBC commissioning editor as a mentor.
With the inclusion of BBC Film, the companies will receive around £1.5m this year. Recipients include Dreaming Whilst Black firm Big Deal Films, Me+You Productions, the firm behind Kate Winslet-starrer I Am Ruth and Turnover Films, the company launched by Rye Lane producer Yvonne Ibazebo.
