Have your idea turned into a film...Calling all Film Buffs, Writers, Directors and Producers...
Movie Mogul Fund have launched the ‘Micro Movie Lab’ competition, an online open-call for
ideas to be developed into a user-generated feature film. Budding film aficionados are invited to
submit 25 word or less ‘micro-pitches’ to The Cherry Bowl, the first round of the competition.
Facing a members vote, the top ten ranking ideas will go before a Jury Panel consisting of
industry professionals; Huw Penallt Jones from Capitol Films, Mark Sandell from Trinity Filmed
Entertainment, Olivier Lauchenauer from Pogo Films and John Shackleton of Movie Mogul Ltd.
The Cherry Bowl prizes:
- The winning idea used as the basis for the movie
- A screen credit ‘based on an original idea by...'
- A share in the film’s profits
- £100 cash
- Member Awards of £100 and £50 runner-up prizes
Further rounds include a Writer’s Brief, with a prize winning a screenplay-writing commission,
and an open Director and Producer’s call, to bring the vision to life. The production budget of
£100k will be raised by members of the website purchasing affordable units at £4.95 each.
All winners and unit holders will share in the film’s profits and own it jointly.
The film aims to go into production towards the end of the year, under the supervision of
participating Jury members.
