Put it to work
- Download and extract the ZIP.
- Read the usage notes and licence.

- Use the Dashboard for next actions, the Rights Tracker for documents and dates, the Funding Planner for conversations, and Pitch & Packaging for materials and versions.
Check fund deadlines, eligibility rules, and any tax-incentive guidance with the relevant agencies and qualified advisers. These rules change. This pack offers general production guidance, not legal, tax, accounting, investment, or safety advice. The licence is a working document. Ask a solicitor to review it before relying on it.
Created by Chris Patterson, founder of Causeway Pictures, Belfast, with over 20 years in film and television. Chris produced Lie of the Land and Hostage to the Devil, and co-produced the UK section of Netflix’s Senna.
