BFI Postroom
The Postroom is a place where new filmmakers can share their work directly with NETWORK and industry executives. If you’ve written, directed or produced a short film, or written a short screenplay you hope to get made, you can send your completed script or film. Every submission is watched or read by a member of the NETWORK team and if they’re excited by it, they may choose to get in touch.
Each month, BFI highlight one of our favourite shorts as a NETWORK Pick. If your film is chosen, they showcase it online and champion it on social media, with your prior consent. They also offer funding to the most exciting new filmmakers they discover here. The creator of each NETWORK Pick will be eligible to apply for a cash award to help produce their next short film. If you are selected as a NETWORK Pick and don’t want to make another short film, they’ll still champion your work online, and see how else they might help you progress your career.
Each quarter they celebrate the Best of the Postroom, shining a light on great films not previously selected as NETWORK Picks, as well as scripts for films that haven’t yet to been produced. One filmmaker profiled in the Best of the Postroom will also be considered for an award.
