THE Collabor8te 2011 SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE HAS NOW PASSED PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR FURTHER Collabor8te OPPORTUNITIES
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
The initiative will produce up to 8 short films during 2012: from scripts of any genre, up to 15 pages, with budgets up to £10,000.
While Collabor8te is keen to develop narrative films, with strong stories and characters, we actively encourage a broad array of styles, mediums and genres. We will not consider ideas for documentaries.
Scriptwriters do not need to have any previous film credits nor does it have to be their first short. We are interested in working with both new and established talent.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU ARE SELECTED
FOR DEVELOPMENT
10 successful candidates will be contacted via email on Monday 28th November 2011. Each candidate will be expected to attend one, day-long development workshop at Rankin Film, London, w/c 12th December. This will be followed by a series of remote one to one meetings in January/February 2012. After this development period up to 8 scripts will be selected for production.
PRODUCTION TEAMS
We will aim to shoot and complete all 8 short films in 2012. Each film will have a carefully selected production team that will include a mixture of new and established talent, recommended by Rankin Film, The Bureau and DazedTV. The scriptwriter will work closely with the director, communally elected by the Collabor8te team and the scriptwriter. Writer-director’s will be considered where they can display an ability to direct the project. In these instances a directing show reel will be required.
We are currently looking for scripts and will only discuss other attached elements (ie. cast, directors, producers, crew) if the script is short-listed.
