WHAT YOU’LL GET:
- £1,500 to make the film
- The winning pitch will be announced and promoted on our site and partner sites
- Full credits
- A delegate’s pass to The Smalls Film Festival 2013

DEADLINE:
Submit your pitch by May 21st, 2013. You will have 2 weeks to produce the film to submit to The Smalls by June 7th, 2013

THE THEME:
The plans for The Smalls Film Festival 2013 are well underway and we have some exciting events (and surprises) in store. Submissions are now open (http://www.thesmalls.com/festival) and already films from all over the world are pouring in.

This year we decided it would be fun to play around with a theme -something that brings it all together. As ambitious supporters of independent filmmaking, this is where the idea began, in simple enough terms: We are The Smalls and we want to go MEGA!

With mega on the mind, and filmmaking of course, we had a think about the ways these ideas collide. To be able to express a singular vision, to become big, and to become immortal -that is every aspiring artist or director’s dream. To achieve this requires an unfaltering commitment to your ideas and a willingness to fight for them with a frenzied mania: MEGALOMANIA.

We are looking to commission an indie filmmaker to create a Smalls promo video (no longer than a minute) for our festival that represents this year’s theme of megalomania.

We will give you our copy to be included and our logo and the rest is up to you. We’ve included a moodboard of visual references to give you an idea of where we’re heading with this. (The moodboard can be downloaded in .pdf format from the toolkit here: http://www.thesmalls.com/brief/smalls-film-festival-2013-promo-film)

It can be a very short story, a series of visual stimuli or something more abstract. Set your inner megalomania free!

HOW TO APPLY:

To pitch for this brief upload a storyboard; a statement detailing your idea and how you would execute it; and your showreel or a piece of content that best demonstrates your ability for this project HERE: http://www.thesmalls.com/brief/smalls-film-festival-2013-promo-film
