Freedom of Mind Festival – Comedy sketch scripts wanted
The Freedom of Mind Festival is on the lookout for original, quirky and comedically diverse scripts to be performed as part of a live comedy showcase in Bristol. The evening is to raise awareness of mental health issues and get people talking about it. The pieces don’t need to have a huge lesson of morality at the end and massive character transition, as they are looking for short sketches that can be anywhere between 5-10 pages (shorter if it works!).
Due to the “treading on egg shells” territory that surrounds it, they will be available to offer any suggestions and edits and test it with the crew over at Freedom of Mind Festival. They are also there to answer any questions you have, but ultimately write anything that you feel can broach the topic in some form, even if it’s really loose.
The scripts will be given to a selection of directors and performed live at the festival on the 7th October. They have some fantastic comedic actors on board and the event will be professionally filmed, so a great opportunity for showreels and something for everyone to take away, but most importantly it is a great cause to support and an issue that people must be aware of.
Please email submissions to maxwilliamhague@gmail.com and don’t hesitate to email if you have any questions.
THE DEADLINE IS: SEPTEMBER 1st 2016
