Digital Shorts is the South West region’s key development and production initiative for new and emerging filmmakers.
This year, we’re looking to commission 4 films, with running times of no more than 10 minutes, at budgets of between £10,000 - £15,000. All themes, styles and subjects are possible including animation and documentary.


The commissioned films will be drawn from a ‘development pool’ of 9 projects/filmmaking teams who we're supporting through an intense 8 week development phase.,  working with a professional development executive, producers and other collaborators.
The 4 greenlit films will go into production over Summer 2010, for delivery in August 2010.

Find out more about the filmmaking teams and their projects here.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for ambitious, imaginative and energetic filmmakers who are enthusiastic about making a great cinematic short film with us.
You will need to dedicate a substantial amount of time and possess the highest level of commitment to work with us and our partners at a professional level.
On top of that commitment, we need vision and stories. We’re looking for films that are provocative, idiosyncratic and audacious; films that stand out from the crowd, have something to say, are cinematic in intent with a clear authorial voice.
Primarily, we’re looking for filmmakers who want to harness the power of cinema to surprise, challenge and delight.
If you’re already a filmmaker or have demonstrable skills in another creative medium such as theatre, games, digital, etc, we’d love to hear from you.
