Call for entries

Is your film at the rough cut stage?

Show and Tell Screenings is the first event of its kind to provide filmmakers the opportunity to screen their unfinished short films. The night allows an audience of accredited producers, directors and other industry professionals to give constructive feedback on work in progress in the form of a group discussion. We are now accepting submissions for the second Show and Tell screening.

The first event took place on 3rd July at a unique two storey penthouse in Leicester Square. Featured shorts included ‘Clowns’ presented by producer Hermann Djomessi, founder of Screenmasters, whose documentary ‘Burn Paris Burn’ was screened on the BBC recently. Djoumessi says ‘Show and Tell is a fantastic concept, it is a completely new idea which I believe will be very helpful to both the audience and the featured filmmakers who come to the event’.

Peter Oxley, Series Producer, BBC says

‘The idea behind Show and Tell is a terrific one, and exchanging feedback is something that we so at the BBC on a regular basis. Not only is Show and Tell a great way of swapping ideas and techniques, it’s also a great networking tool.’

Phil O’Shea, Director of Vampire Diary says

“Constructive feedback is really useful and important to film-makers and at the moment there isn’t a forum to provide that feedback at roughcut stage. That’s why Show and Tell is a really great idea.”

Please send a link to your rough cut online or e mail me for the address to post your DVD to.

Submissions deadline: 3rd October 2007

Please send application to:

lucy@showandtellfilms.com

Please include a paragraph about the film including the budget.
