INDUSTRY EXPOSURE
Our presentation evening will be full of industry professionals and a chance for our finalists to network and showcase their film to a room full of potential supporters.

THE CRITERIA
Large Format Short Films Competition is open to people between the ages of 18 and 35 based in the UK.
Whilst we see this as an opportunity for aspiring filmmakers to make their first movie, gain experience, and enter the industry, we also want to appeal to those already working in the business who have an itch to scratch and get their short film made. So whether you’re new to the industry or a veteran script writer, a first time director or a seasoned pro, a cinematographer or even a videographer, we want to hear YOUR story.
We also know that you may not want to direct the film you’ve written, so we will connect you with the right people to get your script made.
