National fund Turkey, Ankara
Run by T.C. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı, Sinema Genel Müdürlüğü (Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Directorate General of Cinema)
Development money for Turkish producers covering everything up to the first day of shooting, at no more than half the stated budget. The writer's treatment and script are locked once the deadline passes, so the package must be ready on filing day. Applications run through e-Devlet in the ministry's board periods.
