Screenwriting Competition!
This is an exciting opportunity for emerging screenwriters in the West Midlands to see their screenplays produced.
Muckyduckmedia is a fledgling independent television company based in Birmingham and is made up of five very enthusiastic and hard working third year media students from Birmingham City University. Meeting through our degree and building a strong working relationship we are now working on our final project. We have decided to produce a short film of around 10 – 15 minutes long and need a script writer to work with to produce an original and unique piece.
We want to collaborate with a West Midlands based script writer with the aim of working together to create a drama that will encapsulate modern society and the essence of Birmingham through locations, themes and characters. Birmingham is a great place and brilliant location and we’re looking for a story that will really capture and celebrate this city, of which is largely under represented in the television industry.
In terms of the actual story and style that’s up to you! What we’re looking for is simply a great story with detailed and interesting characters that we can really develop and bring to life on screen. We would love the chance to explore the parts of Birmingham that aren’t often seen which could be inspiration for your work, for example the canals, high rises, railways, industrial areas and beautiful architecture.
We want a story that can really explore human kind in way that either reveals a part of society not yet explored or tells us more about relationships and people that the audience can relate to. These are just guidelines however and we’re very open to any ideas you may have and relish a challenge so feel free to be experimental with you’re ideas and themes if you wish.
This project will not only provide a chance to see your idea realised but also has at least two screening events in Birmingham. We are working with a new PR company in Birmingham who are relaunching an online hub for people either trying to break into the media industry or who want to actively produce their own work by working with others in collaborations.
This short film will be screened at the event as an example of the kind of work that could be produced through this on line hub. The film will also be screened at our end of year show. Both these events will have professionals in the region attending, providing a great opportunity to network and a chance to discuss your work.
Your ideas don’t have to be fully conceived as yet; we’re looking for a strong voice and an interesting concept to develop further. We very much look forward to hearing your ideas!
