Sharp Shorts funds up-and-coming writers, directors and producers based in Scotland to create inspiring, engaging and boundary-pushing short films (live action and animation) that resonate with audiences worldwide.
This year, Short Circuit will select up to 12 projects to take part in a 3-month development phase. Over the 3 months, writers or writer/directors will develop their short film proposals into a draft script.
Teams will be supported by Short Circuit’s Talent Executives and will have access to masterclasses, editorial feedback, peer-to-peer workshops and additional bespoke training and access support as required. This will also include training to help you prepare to pitch in front of the funding panel.
After pitching for a production award in September 2023, up to six projects will be selected to receive up to £25,000 of funding each.
Please read the Application Guidelines before applying.
Deadline: 11am on Monday 29th May 2023
