2025 TRAVEL GRANTS

Powered by

 
 

Confidence to be seen. Power to break through.

NeoGen are the proud sponsors of Breaking Through The Lens’ 2025 Travel Grant, enabling the finalists to attend the Cannes Film Festival. The brand’s nitrogen plasma skin regeneration technology aligns seamlessly with BTTL’s mission, symbolising renewal, and empowerment; values at the heart of supporting female film directors breaking into a traditionally exclusive industry. At its core, this partnership is about transformation – renewing confidence, redefining opportunity, and giving women power to not only enter, but to thrive in an industry that has historically overlooked them.

 As NeoGen revitalises and restores skin, this initiative helps female producers rejuvenate their self-belief and professional presence, giving them the confidence to step into spaces where their voices, stores and talent are long overdue. Together we’re investing in transformation, inside and out.
