Company activities and impact

2024-2025 RAISING FILMS CONTINUES TO EXIST IN A SCALED BACK FORM. WE STILL HAVE NO REGULAR CORE / OPERATIONAL FUNDING, APART FROM DONATIONS MADE BY EASYFUNDRAISING, AND THE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, TO COVER THE MINIMUM IN RUNNING COSTS. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO TAKE PART IN INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIC TALKS AND PRESENTATIONS, AND WERE INVITED BACK TO SPEAK TO BIFA (THE BRITISH INDEPENDENT FILM AWARDS ) PRODUCERS TRAINING ‘SPRINGBOARD’ COHORT IN THIS FINANCIAL PERIOD. ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC TALKS ANDS WORKSHOP, AT HUDDERSFIELD UNIVERSITY & READING UNIVERSITY WERE UNDERTAKEN AND PAID IN THIS FINANCIAL PERIOD. OUR MAIN PRESENCE CONTINUES TO BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR WEBSITE, SIGNPOSTING OUR WORK WHEREVER POSSIBLE TO MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY IN NEED OF SUPPORT. UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE UNABLE TO RUN OUR CREATIVE RESIDENCY FOR WRITERS, PRODUCERS AND DIRECTORS, IN EARLY 2025, DUE TO OUR USUAL HOST BEING FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO OFFER THE FREE SPACE TO US AGAIN. THIS IS LARGELY A SIGN OF THE DOWNTURN IN THE INDUSTRY OVERALL. WE WOULD LOVE TO FIND WAYS TO RUN FUTURE ITERATIONS WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY PROVED A CONTINUED NEED FOR RINGFENCED TIME AWAY FROM HOME TO WORK, WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE HAD NO STAFF SINCE THE PREVIOUS PART-TIME WORKER CONTRACTS ENDED AT THE END OF THE 2021-22 PERIOD. ALL WORK IS UNDERTAKEN VOLUNTARILY BY THE DIRECTORS.

Consultation with stakeholders

INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDE: BECTU, BFI, BIFA AND BAFTA. WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH ALL BUT BFI (WHO ARE IN FLUX CURRENTLY), AND HAVE ADVISED ON THEIR OWN PARENTAL SUPPORT WORK. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONSULT WITH OUR ADVISORY BOARD ON OUR WORK AND FUNDING EFFORTS, AND WE HAVE KEPT CONTINUAL CONTACT WITH OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, FESTIVALS, TALKS AND ACADEMIA.
