EM Media is the Screen Agency for the East Midlands region of England
EM Media is an independent, not for profit organisation which raises finance from a range of sources to invest in and support the digital content industries across the East Midlands region.
Since 2002 over 700 film and digital media projects have received investment from EM Media, which has generated over £175m economic benefit for the East Midlands.
What does EM Media invest in?
Local talent, global reach: that’s the principle which informs all our work. We know the East Midlands is home to the UK’s most exciting creative media talent; it's our job to support that talent and enable it to fulfill its potential on the national and international stage.
EM Media has made its name through investments in a host of award-winning independent British films. Our co-financed films include Shane Meadows’ BAFTA winning This Is England, actress Samantha Morton’s directorial debut The Unloved, Nicolas Winding Refn's acclaimed Bronson and Anton Corbijn’s multi award-winning Control.
But we don't just invest in feature films: we invest in talent. Our ever-growing slate includes games, TV, shorts and a host of projects still in development. See EM Media's full investment portfolio by downloading it here.
EM Media works in partnership with a range of organisations at a local, regional and national level including the UK Film Council, the East Midlands Development Agency, BAFTA and Screen England; the network of English Screen Agencies.
