Overview The East Midlands Media Initiative (EMMI), a European Regional Development backed fund administered by the Intermedia Film & Video media agency, is able to co-finance audio-visual media productions up to 25% of the total budget with a ceiling of £200,000. The scope of the chosen media is wide, covering short films, animation, television, low budget features and new media such as interactive TV and computer games.

EMMI actively builds partnerships to assist funding, and has worked with Channel 4 Television, Carlton Television, FilmFour Lab and Pathe Pictures among others.
