We are South West Screen
South West Screen is becoming part of Creative England, the new agency supporting Film, TV, Games and Digital and Creative Services in the English regions. It is our ultimate aim to roll into Creative England, but we will not be closing our doors just yet. From 1 October 2011, our responsibility to distribute Lottery funds for film in the South West transfers to Creative England. We will continue to deliver our non Lottery projects as part of Creative England, including the Creative Industries iNet, The Bottle Yard, iFeatures, White Horse Pictures, the European Creative Business Network, industry bulletins, online community and jobs board.
