I have details for the guidelines for Northwest Vision And Media’s Digital Shorts Scheme 2009/10
They are part of an Film Council Lottery funded (£12,000 per successful entry) UK wide initiative to encourage provocative, innovative and risk-taking new cinema
As they are UK wide maybe a few of you will be interested and if you want further details pm me or Facebook or Tweet TTA. There is a deadline of 5 Nov for entries.
At Odyssey Eastercon I met a short film SF maker called Jim (from Yorkshire) who may well be interested but I can’t remember his last name. If anyone knows who I mean please pass this on.

From the BBC Writers Room your chance to write for Dr Who. Sorry about the short deadline.
Quote: Big Finish opportunity for new writers
Big Finish make original audio adventures, including Doctor Who.
They're asking new writers to pitch ideas for a one-off, 25-minute Fifth Doctor and Nyssa audio adventure, which they hope will make up one of four single-episode stories comprising a future Doctor Who release.
Any prospective writer whose proposal interests them sufficiently may be invited to develop their proposal further, and anyone whose idea enters production will be offered a standard Big Finish writer’s contract.
Deadline: 1 February 2010

More from the BBC Writers Room
Quote: The Big IdeaShine Pictures are proud to announce a national competition for feature film concepts, with a prize of a £25,000 feature film development deal. Quote: Who can apply? This is not an entry level competition, so you need to have either a produced or optioned screenplay, an agent, a festival acclaimed short, an hour of broadcast TV drama, a play that has been performed, writing that has been published, or an equivalent industry achievement.
Finally "a maximum 15 page writing sample together with its logline." so what is a logline?

Creative England get taxpayers money to do all this so if you are an author you might find something here. I'm near Manchester and might go along. Anyone else fancy that one? It might be worth it for the possibility of a free drink or cheesy comestible courtesy of the taxpayer. (Let me know if you fancy going.)
