The Independent Funding Broker & Distributor

"I turned to Bethan and Silverlining when we needed some help with co-funding for The Burrowers for BBC2. This was always going to be tricky to find a partner to fund domestic natural history, but Bethan thought laterally and found us a great partner in S4C."

"Working with Silverlining is a pleasure. Bethan and Sam are reliable, efficient and, importantly, good at capturing and communicating what lies at heart in a piece of content, even if it is a pre-sale at an early stage."

"Silverlining really "get" our programmes and offer strong commercial and editorial support - their international contacts are outstanding."

You understand our workflow and show patience when necessary. Screener links, rough cuts, additional info – it just takes an email and there it is."
