Male bias ?

We hope we don't have any bias. We pick the script. The writer comes attached.

We've been asked for Honourable Mentions; those scripts that impressed us both and so very nearly made the longlist.
And here they are:

THE LAST TEMPTATION OF KRISH Salim Allybokus
PRESS RESET John Halligan
RUN CLUB Rachel Lord
CHIEFTAINS Andrew Parkhill
THE ROOSTER Thomas Conway
MOUSTACHE CITY Smari Gunn & Stephanie Thorpe
FRAME BALL Sylvia Park and Paul Randall
LOCAL HERO David Kidder and Mike Arber
WHITLEY SOCIAL CLUB Dave Kane & Gary Marsden
THE COMMENTARY TEAM Philip Edwards
LOVERS PARADISE James Huggett
BRIGHT FUTURE Maria Shehata

Well that was fun.

Four excellent scripts and we finally have a winner chosen by our industry judges.

The finalists were:

Cole's Law by William Vandyck
Marketing 101 by Kalum Wilson
Please, Take a Seat by Tom Worsley
Top Gut by Tom Critch.

And the winner (it was a close-run thing) was...Cole's Law by William Vandyck.

Get writing. Next year it could be you..

Hi there Simon and Lawrence,

For the SM competition is it worth sending a script that received good feedback in the previous year's comp but didn't make the shortlist?

Cheers

Alan

Hi Alan,

If it didn't make the shortlist last year, I'd recommend working on something new. We expect the standard of scripts to be just as high this year AND this way you'll have another new script in your catalogue when talking to producers, agents etc.

Hope that helps!

Great - cheers, Lawrence
