Online Pitch Competition - Web Series contest

Just seen this site is linking to here -- hello!



From Online Pitch Competition facebook page:-

Got a great idea for a webseries? We want to hear it!

We want stories that cross platforms, cross borders, cross boundaries but hit home. Write what you know. Write what you want to see. Write something new.

We're putting together a slate of online dramas to pitch to broadcasters, brands and social media networks, and we're opening up the field to students and young storytellers. If you’ve got a great idea for an online series that could play on Myspace, Bebo or Facebook, PITCH IT TO US!

The best entries could be further developed under the auspices of Met Film’s BAFTA-winning Russell Stopford and big-hitting online producer Serena Cullen—executive producer of the first show to cross from digital to TV, Bebo series Sofia’s Diary, which aired on Fiver in the UK.

If your pitch is taken forward and commissioned, you'll get a story credit and a producing, directing or writing role in the production.

Remember: we want episodic narratives that work in the busy busy busy environment of the internet. Focus in on the story you want to tell, and the characters you want to explore. Apart from that, there are no limits. Any genre, any style, any perspective—just keep it original!

• Title
• 300 word Synopsis
• Character Bios
• Summaries of 3 webisodes
• 2 page sample script
• Pictures, Drawings or Mood Reel

by December 1st to be considered for the first round of submissions

Online Comedy - ON THE ROCKS

From On The Rocks YouTube Channel:-

On the Rocks is an independently produced original comedy series that follows the comical exploits of the staff at Smith's Jazz Café.

Watch as the staff somehow manages to keep the restaurant in business in the midst of the absurdly amusing chaos and disorder that occurs at the bar on a daily basis.

From waiting on unbearable customers and serving intoxicating drink concoctions, to haphazardly promoting the bar and training incompetent new employees the staff handles each task in a humorously obnoxious way. After taking a shot of this comedy series, viewers will never look at there bartender, waiter, or waitress the same again and learn to live on the rocks.

Places still available for a great all day event

3G-3D Storytelling: New Narrative Structures and Writing Opportunities in the Digital Age

on
Saturday 7th November 2009 (10am-5pm)
Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Centenary Suite
£50 (£40 concessions)

Speakers:
TV/film producer: Claire Ingham
Online Drama writer: (COUGH!) Neil Mossey
Screen & Games writer: Graham Joyce

From the traditionally structured TV and film stories that attempt to appeal to wide audiences (which ITV controller Peter Fincham termed ‘3G’ – three generations watching together), to the 3D structures of games and online drama, this day-long course looks at new opportunities offered to writers by the rise of digital technologies.

Suitable for writers, film-makers and drama practitioners interested in looking at new ways of telling stories across screens of all sizes.



Graham Joyce is the author of fourteen novels and has won numerous awards for his writing, including five British Fantasy Awards and the 2003 World Fantasy Award. He has also written screenplays of his novels and has recently been hired by the creators of Doom 4 to help develop the storyline potential of the computer game.

Neil Mossey worked solely in television and radio before writing on Season 2 of the daily interactive web drama KateModern (storylining over 26 weeks, and scripting 74 webisodes). The series ended in July 2008 clocking up 66 million video views, the largest UK online production to date. As a comedy producer at the BBC he was responsible for developing new formats and drama in the Comedy Entertainment department with writers and performers.



Claire Ingham is a producer and film and television script developer. She works on projects at all stages of development - currently ranging from the adaptation treatment of Eoin Colfer’s bestselling novel The Wishlist to the final draft of Helen Cross’ original feature Stratford Road. Claire has previously worked for a number of film and television companies in development roles. She was Head of Drama Development at Impossible Pictures for four years where she headed a small team, commissioning and developing a range of TV and film projects for all the major broadcasters, including Jed Mercurio’s contemporary retelling of Frankenstein and Michael Chaplin’s family film Pickles.

*Concessionary rate also available to early bird bookings received BEFORE Friday 30th October.
