Rules:
One other note: BusinessFilm / Short Film Action is looking to
establish productive, long-term relationships with UK-based writers.
We’re not a film factory, but a small group of artists and
technicians with a modest pool of funds available for making shorts.
We therefore want to work with writers who have a spirit of
collaboration, and who can willingly lend a hand in the making of
the film. Precise roles in the collaboration are flexible and would
depend on each project.
Please MAIL the following (emailed submissions will NOT be read
our poor eyes can’t bear staring at the screen for too long) to
Genaro H. Pereira, Associate Producer, BusinessFilm Productions Elan,
19 Rue Des Frigos, 75013 Paris, France:
We promise to read over every submission mailed to us, although it
might take us 2-6 weeks to do so. Due to quantity received, we
cannot unfortunately mail back unaccepted. |
