Exeter Phoenix MicroFilm Commission 2016

Exeter Phoenix is looking to commission 7 new films in 2016 that speak the language of cinema and that will connect with cinema audiences through brave, challenging and original ideas. Above all we are looking for a sense of potential that can be realized with our support.

Completed films will be premiered at Two Short Nights film festival and may be selected to precede features at Big Screen in the Park and in Studio 74.

Each commission will include £240 worth of training in camera skills, sound recording, postproduction and script development as well as £1500 worth of equipment hire, support through your production and advice on distribution and crowd funding. Projects will also receive sessions in producing, post-production, budget management and good film practice.
