@BFI What is the most common mistake made in applications to the film fund? #bfiqa
— Emma Hardie (@emmasturgis) May 14, 2013
. @emmasturgis Apps that are submitted too early; projects not ready creatively or strategically. Also, beware of missing info in form!

@BFI Do you prefer to have some funding elements in place on a project, or do you decide on the screenplay alone? #bfiqa
— Sebastian Budner (@sbudner) May 14, 2013
. @sbudner For dev't funding finance not necessary, for prod'n a common sense finance plan & great filmmaker package are most important.

Filmaking is about a good team as it is about money. Do @BFI get involved with 'collaborating' with its projects further than funds? #bfiqa
