Screen Yorkshire - Funding Agency - The Return of Nibiru
After auditioning Daz Kaye for the role of the Illuminati Leader, he suggested that we would be in with good chance of accessing funding for the production of "The Return of Nibiru" as a feature film. After looking over my treatment and and script he claimed he had worked on films with much less depth and individuality than this project, the place to start in terms of funding would be Screen Yorkshire, Daz went on to recommend Vision&Media. Screen Yorkshire is the regional screen agency for Yorkshire and Humber. Our mission is to inspire, promote and support the development of a successful film, TV, games and interactive media sector to grow the economic, social and cultural wealth of the region.
