What is Upstream?
UPstream is a year-round online platform and an annual event that showcases a selection of new and exciting adaptable IP and early stage projects, for Film, TV and Games producers and development executives.
Film London incubates talent in multiple areas, from Games London and Film London’s Artist Moving Image Network to our work for BFI NETWORK, the Production Finance Market and under the Equal Access Network banner. We have our fingers in all the most creative pies.
We also work with a wider network of external partners to source IP for UPstream, as well as attending events from grassroots platforms to the world’s leading film festivals.
If you are interested in submitting something or partnering with us, please contact us.
