Jerwood First Film Shorts
Following on from the success of last year's initiative, we are collaborating again with the First Film Foundation, to provide development support and training for sixteen new short film projects. By developing a slate of high-quality short film scripts, the programme aims to improve the quality of UK short film production and to promote an annual pool of new writing talent to the film and television industries. Once developed, the completed short film scripts are showcased by means of an on-line script bank and also as an annual project book.The participants for the first intake of this years scheme are: Kevin McMullen with "Born in the South of Armargh"
Claire Ingham with "Hearing Things"
Martin Jones with "Apply Within"
Pater Mackie Burns and Marie Olesen with "You Can Stop Calling Now"
Nicola Mills and Hannah Sherlock with "Gum"
Paulina Sakowska with "Melinda"
