Opportunity Knocks!
Darling ones,
here is a jolly good venture by those lovely people at Circalit. I know I'll be entering...
Get your Short Film Script Produced by an Award Winning Director
Circalit Announces Free Short Film Competition.
Award winning London director, Gabriel Bisset-Smith, will produce the winning script of a new screenwriting competition at Circalit. Bisset-Smith is best known as a writer on Channel 4's ‘Skins’ and as the director/writer of the short film Thrush, which won the Tenderpixel Audience Award at Rushes Soho Shorts, the Vimeo Best Narrative Award and the Grand Jury Prize at the Disposable Film Festival. The competition is free to enter, and Bisset-Smith will choose one script to turn into a film in the unique style of ‘Thrush’. The public can also read and vote for their favourite entries at Circalit
Bisset-Smith commented, " As a writer it's often incredibly difficult to get anyone to take your script seriously, so I'm glad I can offer this opportunity for a talented writer to take that leap from writing to production. The quality of scripts on Circalit is generally very high so I'm excited to read through the entries and I look forward to getting started on producing one."
The deadline for entries is 10th September 2011. Scripts should be no more than 5 pages in length. For more information please visit Circalit.
