SHORT SCRIPT CALL OUT – Deadline extended to January 18th JUMPCUT is training and development programme that provides opportunities for young people aged 16-25 to develop and progress within the Screen Industries in Scotland. Each year up to twenty young people from a wide range of backgrounds and experience are given the opportunity to make a high quality short film under the guidance of professional industry mentors. Last year’s JUMPCUT production was shortlisted for a Bafta Scotland Short Film Award and won the Audience Award at the Glasgow Short Film Festival 2015.

The next JUMPCUT production will take place in early 2016 but first we need to find the perfect script. If you have a short script that you would like to see brought to life on screen we would love to hear from you. The age restriction of 16-25 does not apply to the screenwriter.

Shortlisted scripts will be invited to an intensive workshop with industry professionals and selected scripts will receive professional script development support. One of these scripts will go forward to be made by the 2016 JUMPCUT production team.

We are looking for creative and engaging ideas but as it is a training exercise we need to set some parameters in order to meet the challenges of budget and scale.

Application Criteria: 1. The writer must be based in Scotland 2. The script should be for a film 3-5 min in duration 3. Preferably a one-location shoot. 4. Preferably no more than 3 main characters 5. The story or characters should be relevant to young adults
