iFeatures4 will open for submissions on 8 February, with three roadshows for prospective applicants taking place in Sheffield, Birmingham and London from the week starting 1 February. iFeatures will develop a slate of 12 projects from emerging writer, director and producer teams, leading to three films being greenlit in 2017, each with a budget of £350,000. The partners will fully-finance, with BBC pre-buying UK free television rights.

Piggott said, “I have been following iFeatures since its inception and have admired its development into such a prestigious initiative for low-budget feature film production in the UK.” 

Caroline Cooper Charles, Head of Film at Creative England, said, “We are absolutely delighted to be launching a fourth round of iFeatures with Zorana onboard. She completely embodies the spirit of creative risk and adventure that we encourage throughout the iFeatures journey and we’re looking forward to the roadshows and meeting the talented filmmakers who are up for the challenge.”
