There’s a flurry of good film-related stuff going on at the moment and now Screen WM have just launched this year’s digishorts too:
the annual short film production scheme that offers new and emerging filmmaking talent the chance to develop and produce a short film with support and a budget from Screen WM
You’ve got until Monday 10 Nov to get your short film ideas in. A shortlist of 25 ideas will be developed before the final 6 go to production. Go to the digishorts website to grab an application form.
There are going to be roadshows about the West Mids with
a spectacular one day event in Birmingham on Saturday 25th October as part of Hello Digital which will include discussions, screenings and possibly the chance to pitch your project to a panel of industry experts
Which sounds jolly.
*Gratuitous plug alert*
While we’re on the subject of short films, Film Dash is a 48-hour film challenge happening 17-19 October. I’m running it but it’ll be great, honest, and anyone’s welcome to enter. Here’s the Film Dash website.
Thanks Chris and just a note to say the full details of roadshows and Hello Digital event will be on the website – http://www.digishorts.co.uk – very soon so keep an eye out, where you can also read our blogs and watch some films from previous years.
