Wildseed has been set up by Miles Bullough (former Head of Broadcast at Aardman) and former BBC creative executive Jesse Cleverly.

The company is adopting a portfolio approach to development – investing up to £10,000 into each of 50 new projects over the next 3 years, with follow-on investment available for projects that make a connection with an audience.

And they are looking for entertainment projects that are original, exciting, fresh ideas with attitude, energy and attack.
