Everythings about funding
As you've mentioned, the lottery which is a great one, but local arts councils, Royalty inspired/controlled initiatives, government funding, shit like that really has to be thoroughly researched - it makes a huge difference.

This is true, but I'm just spinning ideas here.
I've no experience whatsoever in running things like this. The closest I've got to any kind of creative industry is looking after Jennie Murray's kid one afternoon whilst she presented a radio show my Dad was producing.

Oh, and working backstage at festivals.

Do you know...
If I knew anything about this kind of thing, it's a bloody good idea for a business up North where I am (Wakefield). Summer camps for kids with the end project being a film (which parents can pay for, if they can afford it... means tested for the rest).

Perhaps I should get myself on some business courses and of course audio and video editing courses!
