Belfast XR Festival has introduced a fresh £200,000 creative development fund aimed at strengthening the UK’s immersive media scene. This initiative seeks to bridge a notable gap in support for extended reality projects across TV, film, and games, areas where innovation often struggles to find sustained resources. By backing creators working with XR technology, the fund hopes to nurture new ideas and help build a more robust ecosystem for immersive storytelling that crosses traditional entertainment boundaries. This move signals a growing recognition of XR’s potential in the UK’s creative industries and a commitment to fostering talent nationwide.
