Launch of socially-conscious film fund Tipping Point

Published: 8 July 2009

A not-for-profit film fund that aims to raise money to support independent film-makers through donations has been launched.

The Tipping Point Film Fund (TPFF) is seeking donations from campaigning networks, film-goers and social networks to make films and documentaries that 'advance public and political debate'. The fund is also supported by The Co-Operative retail and finance group.

The TPFF is aiming to recruit between 300 and 500 individuals willing to commit approx. £1000 per year, supplementing this with finance from other donors seeking to make a one-off contribution and campaigning for money through social networks.

It is hoped that TPFF will become a rolling, sustainable fund that can support about four to five films at any time. It aims to contribute large enough sums to ensure films are made and to allow creative independence.
