Christchurch film/TV types for ESCALATOR
NZ film have launched a new "Escalator" initiative, which will give 4 'teams' funding to make their first (very) low-budget feature film. Specifically, they are giving $250,00 to each team.

In the first stage teams will be asked to submit 3 ideas, each as a one page synopsis, along with a one page CV for each member of the team.
The second stage (if you get through) is a low-budget film bootcamp.
After the bootcamp teams will have three months to work on ONE of their ideas and then submit a second stage application. This will include a script, budget, schedule and statement on their low-budget methodology/ethos.
If it sounded like something you might be keen to have a go at, maybe check out our last little project below and get in touch if you want to be part of a 'team' ... ooohh ... sounds so sporty!

Film background. A half-decent CV of some kind? Similar ideas about NOT making another zombie film?
