Amount
€125,000

Feature Film Development Loans: maximum €75,000 without match funding, up to €125,000 with third-party match funding; awards well below the maximum are likely. Loans are repayable on the first day of principal photography (with a 'locked box' re-investment pilot for Irish feature films). Other development strands (TV drama, documentary, animation, screenplay) have their own limits.
