Bridging the Gap Inspiration Workshop - Online - Scottish Documentary Institute

Bridging the Gap Inspiration Workshop – Online

Bridging the Gap is one of the leading documentary new talent initiatives in the UK, offering documentary development training, a cash budget, production support, and up to one year of international festival distribution. This opportunity is open to emerging filmmakers based in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The theme of this year’s scheme is MOBILE. This is an opportunity for applicants to define and redefine mobile through ideas, characters and stories.

Join us for an informal inspiration workshop to learn more about how to apply to Bridging the Gap. In this session we will run through the application guidelines, and give you some pointers on developing your short documentary narrative, and creating a story from an idea, and how to put this on paper.

There will also be a chance to pitch us your ideas, and ask any questions you may have before submitting your application.
