[tof] Funding Boxes

Hi JH

I think your point that "in some ways everyone is a digital practitioner 
these days, and increasingly people working in documentary are also working 
in what was once called 'new media' " is actually a key issue.  Our funding 
structures reflect three main boxes:  documentary, drama and digital media.  
However, I believe truly innovative filmmaking crosses these boundaries and 
incorporates storytelling which is driven by content and not form.  As you 
know this approach can develop incredibly interesting and at times cutting 
edge work, but is difficult to finance because it does not "fit" into one 
distinct funding box or stream.
