This year’s short film script competition gives you a LOT of scope for imagination, drama and creativity, we hope you enjoy it.

 

Brief: The Wedding Dress.

​

The set-up could not be simpler.

Your story will begin…at the end, with a beautiful (but maybe slightly worn-looking) wedding dress, hanging in the window of a charity store or junk shop.

​

You can think of that shot as the punchline or reveal or payoff.

​

Your job, in a script of 5 mins or less, will be to tell the story of how/why the dress ended up there.

​

The genre is entirely up to you - comedy, horror, sci-fi, rom-com, anything you like.

​

We just want to see that you can come up with an engaging/memorable story and tell it well.

 

Only rules?

​

We won’t consider any entry that looks clearly over 5 mins.

​

We won’t consider any submission that is not answering this particular brief.

​

We hope you’ll agree that’s fair.

​

Be imaginative, be creative, be on brief and have your scripts with us for judging by the 31st January 2025 at the latest.

 

The winner will receive £1000 and one of our sensational and beautifully designed iconic Black Shark head trophies.

​

Very best of luck, we look forward to receiving your submission.​​​
