Surely a filmmaker’s dream prize! We’ve teamed up with Prime & Fire and Talenthouse for a great competition – with the winners taking a £10,000 production grant to fund their own mini-documentary. Find out how you can get involved below:
The Brief
Prime & Fire Selects are looking for talented filmmakers to pitch and produce their ideas for a short specialist sports documentary. The most outstanding pitch receiving £10,000 production budget towards the production of their final short film, whilst 9 additional filmmakers with exceptional pitches will receive a £2,000 production budget each.
Filmmakers are invited to upload a 1-2 minute video teaser or trailer and 300 written word pitch in their submission description to best illustrate what they would do with the funding. The video can be a trailer or snippet to tease their documentary idea, and should demonstrate not only the story behind the documentary but also production skills and creativity.
The judges are looking for unique; undiscovered human-interest stories and mini-documentaries based around action, endurance or specialist sports. The scope is huge and can be absolutely anything from skateboarding to free diving to stories of human sporting endeavor.
