Contributions from various writers on
"unfunded / unmade films"

compiled by Bill Mousoulis

A section where various filmmakers were asked for their stories around any projects of theirs that were unfunded and/or not completed in the end.

Three questions were posed to them, as prompts, but they were free to write on what they wanted:

  • Have you had a project that was dear to your heart, but found that the funding bodies just didn’t want to fund it, either at script stage or production stage?
  • Why did you love the project so much, and why did the funding bodies not fund it (their officially stated reasons)?
  • How would you have felt if the film was made and released, and how do you think audiences would have responded to it?
