Script Calls
We occasionally run script calls to connect writers with indie producers and directors. These calls are either run on a free-to-enter or on a pay-what-you-can basis.
Please note we cannot connect writers with producers or directors outside of the initiatives advertised on this page.

These are the script calls we run in the past:
Call for soft sci-fi and magical realism scripts
Producer Rachel Stander is looking for a feature film script to add to her development slate to participate in several script labs throughout 2024. She would love to find dramedies with a soft sci-fi or magic realism element.
Team-up call for writers, directors and producers (Nov 2023)
We are running this initiative to help UK-resident writers, eligible directors, and eligible producers team up for the upcoming Uncertain Kingdom Short Film Fund 2023.
Pitch a LGBTQIA+ short script to Qalbi Productions
Producer / Actress Agatha Ezzedine of Qalbi Productions is looking to team up with a writer for their next short film project. They are looking for original screenplays for fiction short films of up to 10 minutes exploring LGBTQIA+ themes.
Pitch features and TV pilots to Terhi Kylliainen
Producer looking for Feature Film or TV Plot scripts. Drama stories featuring storylines with a genre element, such as The Guest (dir. Adam Wingard), Lady Macbeth (dir. Will Oldroyd) and Beast (dir. Michael Pearce). Preference for stories set in the UK, better if outside London, but ultimately open to stories set anywhere in the world, as long as the screenplay is in English.
Pitch musical short films to Christien Bart-Gittens
Christien is a short film producer looking for short musical scripts – projects where at least 50% of the story is told through music. Good examples are One Fourth Gone and Whiplash (the short film, or the section from the feature that came from the short).
