The Times BFI London Film Festival, supported by Skillset and Film London and sponsored by Adobe, is looking for 25 talented and experienced filmmakers, seeking to develop their feature film career, to take part in Think-Shoot-Distribute.
Successful applicants - producers, screenwriters and directors - will take part in a 5-day programme during the Festival in October in which they will meet with leading film professionals in a series of workshops and master-classes exploring the international film industry - from financing to exhibition. Participants then join the T-S-D network of over 100 alumni who meet bi-monthly at the BFI Southbank.
Previous guest speakers have included Stephen Frears, Tessa Ross, Paul Webster, plus executives from BBC Films, Film4, Lionsgate, Working Title and DNA Films. Previous participants have gone on to be BAFTA nominated and three 2007 participants were selected as Screen International 'Stars of Tomorrow 2008'.
Think-Shoot-Distribute is supported by Skillset and Film London and sponsored by Adobe. Deadline for applications is 5.00pm, Tuesday 16 September.
Cost for successful delegates: £90.
