Run by NFM, NFM Academy and funded by The Film and TV Charity, Open Horizons aims to counteract geographical disadvantages in film and TV by providing opportunities for set visits and mentoring along with financial support for travel to interview and bursaries for work experience and placements. All successful applicants will receive individual support to assess and further their careers.

The aim is to help participants progress to higher grades, secure more work, secure work of better quality, and secure work in more prestigious genres currently inaccessible to them.
