From its headquarters in London, Genera has been set up to provide an alternative way for short filmmakers worldwide to achieve funding.
The Genera Approach
Genera is a cost effective and time efficient alternative to funding your short film.
Here is a comparison of Crowdfunding, Film Bodies and Genera:
Crowdfunding
- These platforms charge fees approx. 3-9% (For example for £5,000 the fees work out between
£150-£450) not to mention the time it takes you to create and promote your campaign. There is
also the cost of sending rewards for pledges etc.
Film Bodies
- You can expect rounds of auditions and vetting that can last for months. If successful you may
even be required to give up creative control. Some also ask for a financial contribution towards
the end of the process.
GENERA
- There is a one-off £40 submission fee (per project), no hidden fees, no percentages taken, no
creative control lost and a simple application process. - Perks – You can take advantage of our partners page. We currently have a growing list of film
festivals that offer discounts for submissions – giving you a saving of more than your Genera
funding application fee.
We take no creative control; we’ve made sure the submission process is quick and straightforward, our
funding is open 365 days a year and we welcome projects at any stage.
DEVELOPMENT | PRE-PRODUCTION | PRODUCTION | POST-PRODUCTION | FILM FESTIVAL RUN
At Genera we give YOU the power and the creative control to make your film. Genera is a family of filmmakers helping each other support the film industry worldwide.
