Why creatives choose us

Here's what our amazing partners think of the TalentX experience

As a young Producer, getting financing for film ideas can be a major challenge, but I applied to the TalentX Creative Solidarity Fund and got funding to shoot a daring film idea I've conceived for 5 years. The whole application process was totally worth it. I'd recommend to filmmakers seeking project financing.

Anita AbadaProducer, 2020 TCSF Participant

TalentX has been transparent in its dealings with me right from inception. The fees promised for the scripts in the earlier selection phases were paid. After making it through to the final stages, I underwent online lectures from industry professionals at no extra cost. The people at TalentX have been warm, professional and friendly.

Abayomi SoniyiScriptwriter, 2020 TCSF participant

I see the TalentX fund as giving a voice to the voiceless as through it, I am now able to shoot a series I’ve been nursing for years, and I hope others get their chance to also make their dreams come true.
