For the BFI NETWORK England Early Development Fund (writers without a producer, fiction feature or long-form immersive, live action or animation), the page defines stage one as funding a full treatment of story outline and structure, characters, themes and related materials such as mood boards, in up to ten pages; the delivery clauses say seven to ten pages. It is a funding requirement and deliverable, not general craft advice, and it applies to this England-based writer fund only.
