Regional financing
The West Finland Film Commission finances projects in the form of production support and services, which are based on local expenditure.
WFFC’s production support can be up to 12.5 % of local expenditure.
Production support is negotiated case by case directly with the West Finland Film Commission. In addition to our financing, the commission also helps productions find private equity within the region.
To apply for WFFC’s regional production support, please send the treatment and/or the script, your production’s budget, and an estimation of the local expenditure in the Turku Region to teija.raninen@businessturku.fi.
If you have received WFFC’s Production support, Please request the logos in needed colours and formats from teija.raninen@businessturku.fi.
