Q. I have an idea for a film! And I have a script! Can I make my film with Film4?
We accept scripts from producers or agents who are welcome to contact us via email: film4submissions@channel4.co.uk
Due to the sheer volume of material Film4 receives, we cannot, unfortunately, consider unsolicited material that does not come via a producer or agent.
To make sure we are inclusive and accessible to all, please let us know if you require any adjustments or assistance for meetings and communications with you.

Q. Can I do work experience at Film4?
For information on any trainee, apprentice or work experience schemes run by Channel 4, have a look at both the 4SKILLS and 4JOBS sites for information.
Q. I am a film student and need help with some research - can you help me with my project?
We get a lot of requests from students for information on their chosen project/assignment. Unfortunately, we simply don’t have the time or resources to answer individual enquiries. The information we can share about our films will already be on this site, but please note you can also find lots of information about Channel 4 in our FAQs and in our Annual Report which you'll find on our corporate site.
