FREE POCKET SHORTS FILMMAKING WORKSHOP - SHEFFIELD

Pocket Shorts, the UK’s only independent mobile phone film production  
fund, will be celebrating its first birthday this November by  
commissioning up to ten short films. This is a Blink initiative aimed  
at filmmakers who have graduated in the last five years and live in  
Yorkshire, the North West and the North East of England.

Blink is calling for Pocket Shorts applications from all forms of  
moving image makers working in animation, games design, advertising,  
3D design, music video, motion graphics, graphic design as well as  
traditional artists and filmmakers.

Succesful applicants will be awarded up to £2,000 production funding  
to create short films of four x fifteen seconds or sixty seconds in  
length. Awardees will also be matched with a compatible industry  
partner to provide mentoring and guidance through the production  
process. DEADLINE 30 NOVEMBER.

Prior to the application deadline, free mobile phone filmmaking  
workshops are being held in each of the three regions. The workshops  
are a great opportunity for filmmakers to view examples of short  
moving image work, find out about the distribution channels for the  
finished films and discuss their ideas with Lisa Roberts and Andrew  
Wilson from Blink.

Filmmakers from Yorkshire are invited to the following workshop at:
Sheffield Independent Film, 5 Brown Street S1 2BS
27 October, 6.30pm - 7.30pm
