Call for Applicants for ReAnimate
Call for Applicants
ReAnimate is the new animation development initiative from Warp Films and Birds Eye View with the support of Skillset Film Skills Fund. United by the shared desire to champion brilliant female writing and animation talent and to bring animations by women to the screen, we have created a groundbreaking programme to do just that.
Focussing on the worlds of screenwriting and animation, we will select up to 20 exceptional British women and equip them with the contacts and creative support they need to produce smart, commercial, animation ideas for the international marketplace.
The ReAnimate programme will offer participants the opportunity to enjoy specialist workshops, meet with experienced mentors to develop their projects, attend a residential retreat, gain a better understanding of the industry and have an exclusive opportunity to pitch projects for the Warp development slate. The focus will be on forming new creative alliances and hot-housing animation projects in a relaxed and stimulating environment.
After the residential, participants will have the opportunity to pitch new animation ideas to Warp Films for inclusion on its development slate. A number of individual projects and creative teams will be selected for development support with the intention that the projects will go into production from late 2011.
Open for applications until Friday 14 May 2010.
