Funding decisions are on their website Damien. Don't be lazy.
The only Stuff things you'll find on there are in Round 3, back around January, which is for MINIMUM 90 minutes.
This was:
1. Before the occupation actually HAPPENED, and
2. For a film roughly 30 minutes (minimum) longer than what F&F was.
Get good,
JL
