With over 60% of Australian filmmakers forced to self-fund up to $200,000 to develop their projects, often working unpaid for years, Screen Angels steps in to break the cycle, providing the capital and support filmmakers need at the early stages to bring their stories to life and build thriving screen businesses.
For too long, Australian filmmakers have faced an uphill battle when it comes to funding the development of their projects. Producers are often expected to self-fund up to 100% of development costs, covering everything from script editing to pitch materials, with little to no external support. On top of that, they’re pressured to delay or waive their fees, often working unpaid for years. With development budgets frequently exceeding $200,000, this financial strain is unsustainable and leaves many filmmakers unable to bring their creative visions to life.
Our Solution
At Screen Angels, we’re changing the story for how Australia’s filmmakers are funded. We understand the critical role producers play in bringing screen projects to life, and we’re here to ensure they’re fincially supported every step of the way. Our angel syndicate provides filmmakers with the capital they need to fund their projects’ early stages, freeing them from the burdens of self-funding and unpaid labour.
We go beyond funding—we’re committed to creating a sustainable future for filmmakers. By covering producer fees, corporate overheads, and essential development costs, we’re ensuring that creatives can focus on what they do best: telling powerful stories. Our investments also build investor confidence, helping projects move from development to greenlight with the momentum they need to succeed.
At Screen Angels, we’re not just funding projects; we’re empowering filmmakers to build thriving screen businesses. With our support, Australian producers can take on the industry’s challenges head-on, create incredible work, and lay the foundation for long-term success.
