INTERACTION

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.

From the BBC Writers Room again

More from the BBC Writers Room




Finally "a maximum 15 page writing sample together with its logline." so what is a logline?

Senior Corporate Relations Manager (Bristol or Manchester based)

Creative England is the first dedicated development agency for the creative industries outside London. We develop creative talent, ensuring that the best talent is supported, nurturing film culture and maximising inward investment across the English regions.

But that’s not all. One of our most important tasks in 2012 is to support television, games, digital and creative services, and that’s where our new Senior Corporate Relations Manager will play a vital role in the planning development and implementation of all communications and corporate affairs activities.

We are now looking for a first class leader in corporate relations, to develop our strategic relationships with key stakeholders across the English regions. This is a key role in this exciting, new organisation. You will work closely with the CEO in building strategic partnerships. They will also lead and manage the communications team and, as a member of the Senior Management Team, ensure the communications strategy is embedded within the company.

Based in Creative England’s offices in either Bristol or Manchester, the Senior Corporate Relations Manager will provide strategic communications leadership both internally and externally. Creative England is looking for someone who shares our mission and can generate ideas to achieve this. The ideal candidate will understand the value of information and how best to disseminate it. You will have original ideas, a great eye for a story and an ability to build strong relationships. Charm, a quick wit, originality, strong writing and communication skills, and a real enjoyment of what we do are pre-requisites.

I'd not heard of this but Phil Emery told me about it today. We haven't read the small print and you may get innundated with adverts for books on writing screenplays but.... if you are keen on movie scriptwriting and somewhere at the back of the bottom drawer or buried on your hard drive...

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.)
