Drabbles 2010 Are you a script writer in need of a challenge? Or a film-maker in need of a script? Fowler+Sumner are managing the Screen Drabble open collaboration project between writers and film-makers. Drabble is the literary term for a very short work of prose. We are calling for film scripts of exactly 100 words. This must include scene descriptions, any directorial notes like camera positions and shot, dialogue and description of action. Title and details of the author are not included in the word count. As this is an open collaboration, we will post every submission on this website, with full credit to the author. The scripts are then available for any film-maker to use - we will encourage film-makers to share their work with authors and the website. |
Project Opens 20 July 2010 The full collaborative project will go live in July 2010 with a widespread call for submissions and a dedicated website. In the meantime we are inviting friends and family to create screen drabbles that can be featured at the launch of the new project. Please contact us for further details if you are interested in submitting before the official launch. Creative Commons There is no payment or prize-giving for this call, it is an open collaboration. You submit work on the basis of Creative Commons licensing, deciding how film-makers can use your script. Please visit the UK licensing page for more details on the different licenses and advise us when you submit your script which license applies. |
Screen Drabbles 2008 Fowler+Sumner ran the first screen drabble project in 2008 along the same lines, although the word limit was then set at 72. The short period of submission ended with 15 entries, and one went on to be produced as a short film and submitted to a small festival in London. Submitted entries are available to read (and use) on this website and can be viewed by clicking on the link below. Listed in order of submission. View the 2008 homepage here. Includes a link to all scripts, and to the film Brian, 40 by Fowler+Sumner. |
