South West Screen Digital Shorts Roadshows 30 May 2007 - Corsham Town Hall, Wiltshire, 4pm - 6pm 2 June 2007 - Blue Lights Hall, Appledore, North Devon, 12 noon - 2pm (during the Appledore Visual Arts Festival) 19 July 2007 – Exeter Phoenix, 4pm to 6pm Digital Shorts 2007/08 will be open for applications in September 2007. South West Screen and the UK Film Council are seeking to commission innovative short film ideas from individuals based in the South West who are interested in exploring new approaches to digital format, both in terms of production and exhibition/distribution. These roadshows will provide the opportunity to hear about the scheme, talk with the commissioners and see films which have been supported under the scheme over the last four years. This year, in collaboration with Creative Partnerships, we want to encourage people aged between 18 - 25 and who are not in full-time education to apply. Ideas should be no longer than 10 minutes (5 minutes is a preferable length) and budgets will be between £3,500 and £8,000. Script development is built into the process as well as a residential development programme. We are looking to commission approximately 8 shorts, up to three of which will be earmarked for the 18-25 year age range. If you are interested in attending the roadshows, please book your place by contacting Arilda Tymko at arilda.tymko@swscreen.co.uk. These events are free of charge. If you cannot attend one of the roadshows but would like to register your interest and to receive guidelines and an application form, please contact Arilda. |
