Stand by: Screen Ireland’s short film scheme Focus Shorts will be opening for applications
Posted: 4th December 2019
Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland is delighted to announce that applications for Focus Shorts, the short film scheme, will open next week.
Focus Shorts is a short film scheme for the making of live-action, fiction films that act as a proving-ground for Irish creative talents aspiring to write, direct and produce films for the cinema.
It aims to encourage strong, original storytelling, visual flair, and production values appropriate to the big screen. It offers an opportunity for producers, directors and writers to work in a professional environment that will bring their experience up to a higher level and can be seen as a potential stepping stone for future full-length film-makers.
Focus Shorts can be up to 10 minutes in length and receive a budget of up to €50K.
The deadline for applications is 1pm on Friday, 6th March 2020, and the application system will open next week.
