In everyone’s career, at some point there was likely someone who believed in you or your project. We have all been there and know that sometimes, to believe in ourselves, we might need a little push.
So, Db Fund, in conjunction with our friends at the Looking Sideways podcast, is our small way to give back to the creative industry and hopefully give the next generation of talent a step-ladder forward with their project.
Over the last 3 years, we have given away €15k, along with hundreds of hours of feedback and coaching, to help bring new creative projects into the world. This December we will be debuting two of our most recent projects on YouTube.
The first is Turning Tides, a project focused on the challenges associated with an infrastructure system creaking under the weight of demand, resulting in pollution in the waters around the UK, directed by Antoine Couturier.
The second is Type 1 Fun by Emily Cooney — her first film — which focuses on the challenges and misconceptions that come with having Type 1 diabetes while living a very active life of climbing, running, and surfing.
Our next project is in production in winter ’25, focused on bringing to life the story of how climate change affects mountain communities in Italy.
We are immensely proud of the creators bringing these projects into the world, and we will continue to champion their work and advocate for more of the same in future.
