EXCLUSIVE:  In advance of next week’s Sheffield DocFest, London and New York-based banner Together Films is launching a new Impact Distribution Campaign Fund & Accelerator dubbed Climate Action Together.

The fund is designed to amplify powerful films addressing the climate crisis. In its inaugural year, Climate Action Together will support two film teams whose works are set to launch across various platforms such as festivals, theatrical, non-theatrical, digital or broadcast between January 1, 2025 and June 30, 2025 with a £20,000 ($32,000) cash grant each alongside an in-depth four-month strategy phase and mentorship support.

The fund is looking for applications from filmmakers committed to raising awareness about the climate crisis and advocating for actionable solutions and will target completed features (both scripted and documentary) aimed at inspiring public action and driving policy change in the UK and/or U.S.

Current projects in post-production will be eligible if they are completed for public viewing by January 1, 2025.  “Solving the climate crisis requires a collaborative effort across industries and stakeholders,” said Sarah Mosses, Founder and CEO of Together Films. “We are looking for projects that not only highlight the severity of the situation, but also shine a light on innovative solutions and stories of hope.
