Collabor8te aims to build filmmaking teams by giving opportunities to new talent while encouraging them to learn from more experienced professionals. This might include new writers learning from seasoned directors, or fresh acting talent captured by renowned directors of photography. In doing so we hope to nurture homegrown talent and help them to establish themselves internationally.

Collabor8te are looking for scripts of any genre, up to 15 pages. The initiative will produce up to 8 films with budgets up to £10,000 each during 2013. While Collabor8te is keen to develop narrative films with strong stories and characters, they actively encourage a broad array of styles, genres, and mediums including animation. Collabor8te welcome submissions from writers with a variety of creative disciplines and backgrounds.

Writers may submit up to 2 scripts each. If a writer enters more than 2 scripts, Collabor8te will read only the first 2 submissions and will not read new drafts or revisions. Writers are encouraged to submit scripts that are feasible for the timescale and budget available.

Though a script may have elements attached (director, producer, cast), Collabor8te are initially only interested in the script and therefore will only discuss further elements if a project is short-listed for development.Scriptwriters do not need to have any previous film credits nor does this have to be their first short. They are interested in working with new and emerging talent, from first-time writers to experienced artists and creatives crossing over to narrative filmmaking.

Collabor8te will not consider ideas for documentariesm nor co-finance any project. Collabor8te will only consider submissions from residents of the UK and Ireland.
