Do you have a short film idea of your own?
April 17th 2008 06:57
Would you like a chance to get it made? If so, John Jameson Productions has launched a competition for you. All you have to do is, in 200 words or less, describe your idea for a short film with an unexpected ending. A panel of film industry professionals will be choosing 8 finalists and eventually 3 winners. The 3 screenplays will then be put into production with a $20,000 budget each. Entries close April 30th!
There are two rounds of judging. All the initial 200 word entries will be read by a group of professional script-readers, writers, directors or producers. They will gradually get the list down to eight finalists. The final eight screenplays will be judged by a panel of well-known industry professionals. No experience necessary, just a good idea with an unexpected ending in less than 200 words. Oh, and you must be over 18.
Why is Jameson doing this?Jameson Whiskey is involved with film in lots of different countries, sponsoring the Tribeca, Dublin and Toronto film festivals, amongst many others. In 2008 Jameson became the official spirit of Tropfest.
To build on this association with film in Australia Jameson wanted to offer a prize that would inspire anyone with a good idea, whilst highlighting the usually forgotten role of screenwriters. We want to demonstrate that we are serious about supporting the independent film community by providing the money and opportunity to get your film idea made.
So if you are over 18 then head to the Jameson Whiskey website and find out how to get your entry in. And you had better be quick you only have two more weeks to go before teh deadline.

Also, if you arent residing in Australia, I dont think they will accept your entry, but I am not 100 percent sure so go check out the site anyways.
Good Luck!
