A One Minute Film Making Challenge based on the UK riots, run by the London Screenwriters’ Festival.

Do you have what it takes to make a killer one minute film? You could win cash, film making prizes and get your work judged by leading industry figures.

The London Screenwriters' Festival is running a one page screenplay contest about the riots in the UK. The winning screenplay will be made public at 9am on Friday October 7th, at which point YOU can download it and make your movie based on that single page screenplay.

Unlike most film challenges, the hardest part, the screenplay, will be done for you. And the script will not just be written, it will be a real cracker.

That also means that all your competitors have the same solid foundation too, meaning the best filmmaking will win the day. Great performances, stunning cinematography, fabulous sound, mesmerising music, challenging interpretation of the script… these are all ways to shine.

Completed films must be uploaded by 9am on Friday 21st October.

Completed films must also include the title card for the competition, which should last 3 seconds. The title card will be made available along with the screenplay on October 7th.

The winners will receive £250 cash, tickets for the festival, a pile of film making goodies and have their work seen by our esteemed judges.The winning film making team will be announced at the London Screenwriters’ Festival where the finalist films and winning film will be screened.
