DOWN ON THE FARM - 6 DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILM COMMISSIONS 2018/2019

DOWN ON THE FARM is a paid short film making commission from North Devon Moving Image which will result in a collection of 6 short documentary films about farmers and farming in North Devon.  Our aim is to support and nurture film making talent, enabling our commissionees to produce new, creative and engaging moving image work. 

Project Aims:
1. To support our farmers to share stories of their working lives with the wider world, enlightening local communities and consumers and preserving north Devon farming heritage in moving image.
2. To give an opportunity to emerging film makers to develop their craft, express their creativity, reach new audiences and benefit from professional mentoring, practical production support and a £1,000 budget.

Keep an eye on our NEWS page for updates on the Down on the Farm project and look out for the #downonthefarm hashtags in our social media posts.

With thanks to our Down on the Farm Supporters
