Film Victoria and MIFF team up to sponsor ten Victorian screenwriters

Film Victoria is seeking expressions of interest from Victorian writers to attend their 37ºSouth: PostScript & Direct event.

37ºSouth is a joint initiative between Film Victoria and the Melbourne International Film Festival, sponsoring up to 10 early to mid-career Victorian writers to pitch their feature film projects to producers from Australia and New Zealand.

PostScript & Direct is aimed at writers with polished narrative feature film scripts rather than those in the early stages of development.

Film Victoria's critera for assessment will include: the execution and quality of writing; the projects’ potential in the marketplace; the projects’ level of development and readiness to be presented at a market; the projects’ ability to engage an audience.

Selected participants will be advised of the outcome within four weeks of the deadline and will be required to sign a participant agreement.

This year 37ºSouth: PostScript & Direct will occur on Sunday 31 July, 2016 at the Forum Theatre, Melbourne.

The deadline for expressions of interest is 10am Friday 13 May, 2016.
