If you have "bad credit" it tends to put off the traditional lenders. The usual recommendations for comparatively small sums like this are family and credit cards.

So you get £4k from the trust, what have you actually got? Nothing?

Also you are entering a very dangerous market matey. Give it a year and Films will be on demand through a variety of digital means. No long term business there for me.
