Applications are now open for the Vertical Drama Lab. 

Supported by Channel 4 Skills the lab is an opportunity for 10 writers living in the North of England to master vertical storytelling, develop an original vertical concept and understand the verticals industry.

How do you grab the attention of the reader within the first three pages of your script? As part of SCRIPT TALKS we will be holding a session called Three Page Challenge: Horror Edition hosted by BAFTA Winning Producer Emily Leo and featuring a panel of industry experts who will read and feedback on the first three pages of your feature horror script and offer advice on how to make it really stand out. The selected three projects will receive free tickets and travel to SCRIPT TALKS at Arc as well as three sessions with a professional script editor to polish your script after the event.

If you are a Northern based writer and would like to submit your Horror feature script for consideration for the Three Page Challenge please complete the submission form here.  Deadline to submit scripts 27 October.

Eligibility: In order to be eligible to submit your script you must be over 18 on point of submission, live in the North of England and be available to attend the Three Page Challenge event on Wednesday 24 February at Arc, Stockton 7.15pm.

SCRIPT TALKS is funded by the Tees Valley Combined Authority. Tees Valley – An Engine Room of Creative Production.
