REAL Initiative

REAL Initiative is a new, exciting free programme of support for documentary filmmakers and digital artists in Leicester/shire, who are looking to start-up or grow their business.

REAL Initiative

The REAL Initiative programme is tailored to meet the needs of individuals and enterprises at different stages of growth – from established filmmakers and digital artists, to start-ups in their first year of business, to people who are just thinking about taking their first steps.

Our vision is to work towards establishing Leicester as a centre for documentary and non-fiction film and digital art in the East Midlands.

REAL Initiative is funded by Phoenix, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Midlands Engine and Arts Council England.
