MD.IE://Funding/Development/Tv & Film Projects/Single Projects
Scheme Introduction
MEDIA Supports independent European companies with a proven track record that are developing projects to bring into production.
We will cover up to 50% of your eligible development costs up until the first day of principal photography or until the following dates, whichever comes first.
For years Ireland has been very successful at accessing development funding and we aim to continue that trend.
Support is available for the development of Single Projects and a Slate of Projects (3-5 Projects).

Sample Criteria
In order to access development finance you must have the required experience and proven distribution. The following types of project are eligible under this scheme
| Type | Minimum Duration | Previous Work Completed | Previous Distribution Required |

| Live Action | 50 mins | 1x50 min Live Action | 1 Project Distributed in last 3 years |

| Animation | 24 mins | 1x24 min Animation or 2x Animated Short Films | 1 Project Distributed in last 3 years or Shorts Exhibited in Festivals |
Eligibility Criteria
As you would expect; the eligibility for Single applications is less rigorous than for Slate support:
| Scheme | No. of Projects | # Years Company Registered | Projects Completed | Funding Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Support | 1 | 1 | 1 (Since January 2008) | €10k – €80k |
