WHO AND HOW?

There are no boxes to tick. Our remit is simple: we want quality film productions that are unapologetic, fresh, and exciting.

We welcome any genre and language. We have zero prejudice in terms of who you are and where you’re from – you can apply from any region, any country whether you reside in Cornwall or Antarctica.

Applications can be made anytime at all, and we will base each project on a case-by-case basis.

Lara is available at all times, so don’t hesitate to fire over with any questions: lara@paradoxhouse.co.uk

DIVERSITY STANDARDS

We produce and develop films that are ‘diverse in nature’, but always avoiding the remit of box-ticking. We don’t condescend filmmakers by prejudicing based on meeting stats relating to your ethnicity, gender,sexual orientation, disability, or social background. But we want projects which are ‘diverse in nature’. This means avoiding token diversity, and judging projects based on its own merit. Adding diversity in a paradoxical way.
