Short PLATFORM Professional Development Award
Phoenix have teamed up with the Sir Thomas White Loan Charity, which supports new and existing business owners and postgraduate students across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. Together, we’re introducing a £250 professional development award for Short PLATFORM. The award is open to the writer, director, and producer of each submitted film, as long as they live in Leicester, Leicestershire, or Rutland.
PLATFORM is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Leicester City Council and is a programme led by Phoenix which includes talks from experienced professionals, as well as informal networking opportunities. It’s a place to gain practical advice, share knowledge, and meet others who share your career and creative interests.
