Deadline: 20 December 2010
ICA Lab opens its doors to shorts – submit your script by 20 December
ICA Lab is extending Lab space to 2 short filmmakers during the LSFF, who wish to develop and workshop their work. An international script/project development Lab, and a global community of creatives with a demonstrable track record that develop and make feature films, television drama and comedy, theatre, opera and radio drama, the ICA Lab offers peer to peer networking, professional support and a safe space for creative experimentation.
Writers and directors link up with actors, crew/HOD’s and producers to work on scripts/projects within the creatively safe confines of the ICA Lab community.
Short filmmakers may submit their short script – up to ten pages – for consideration by the Lab panel, which includes filmmakers, producers and writers and the ICA Lab ambassador, Gurinder Chadha. Two scripts will be selected, offering 2 filmmakers the space and support to workshop their ideas with professional actors and peer review.
Please note these sessions are not open to an audience, and will focus on the filmmaker’s own experimentation.
The ICA Lab is a community project which has been running since August 2007 and is sustained by its members to serve their needs.
To be considered, filmmakers should download a submission form: ICA Lab Submission Form (Word Doc); ICA Lab Submission Form (PDF); and send it along with the following information to icalab [at] shortfilms.org.uk
· Electronic version of an original short fiction script (10 pages max)
· 200 word synopsis
· Brief credit list for filmmaker (optional)
· Director’s statement (optional)
All work will be treated as confidential. The deadline for submission is non-negotiable.
Filmmakers will be notified of their success by 31 December 2010. Workshops will take place at the ICA on 9 January 2011.
