One World Media Fellowship guides filmmakers and journalists on a single project, and provides a supportive network of mentors and peers through the production and completion of their project.
What is One World Media looking for?
The fellowship is open to applications from all around the world.
One World Media Fellows are aspiring filmmakers and journalists ready to take the next leap in their career reporting from the global south. Looking for their first director role or solo investigation, the Fellows experiment and learn in a supportive environment.
In 2023, they will select 10 international Fellows.
One World Media is looking for projects that are:
- Projects in pre-production that tell engaging stories from low- and middle-income countries across the global south;
- Non-fiction media across all platforms: film, print, audio, photojournalism, and multimedia;
- Proposals where majority of the budget is in place or achievable in a short time-frame;
- Projects that can be delivered within a year – for films this is under 30 mins; and
- Stories that are strong enough to be published or broadcast in established media outlets. We are looking for genuine journalism or documentary and will fund media that could ultimately appear in existing newspapers, magazines, radio, TV channels, professional news websites and online platforms, etc.

- £1,000 production grant
