Exeter Phoenix are excited to launch two new animation commissions, each worth £2,200, exclusively for graduating students from universities on the GWR network – such as the University of the West of England, Falmouth University, and Arts University Plymouth.
Rooted in the South West’s world-renowned animation heritage, this opportunity invites the next generation of animators to create two original three minute films that celebrate the magic of rail travel and its place in British life.
Open to students and recent graduates (Class of 2020 onwards), the project offers:
● A £2,200 commission fee per selected filmmaker
● Rail bursaries to explore the network and gather inspiration first-hand
● A chance to develop a professionally commissioned piece to kickstart your creative
career.
