Cosmosquare Films is a recent awardee of the BBC Small Indie Fund and is currently developing features with an international focus. Drawn to complex flawed characters, Cosmosquare Films is looking for introspective stories that tap into the weirder and darker sides of ourselves we often like to ignore, making films that are honest and unpredictable.
