Chosen for their ambitious scope and talented teams, the first projects selected for The Bigger Picture are now in development with Take Three. The live action projects are by filmmakers who have a highly authored vision, and a clear sense of how a new short will complement and enhance their debut feature film projects.
As part of Screen Scotland’s Talent Builder, Take Three will provide a contribution of £90,000 to each film’s production budget, as well as support through the script development stage.
