Virgin Media Discovers
Virgin Media Discovers is a short film competition to find the next big thing in Irish filmmaking. As Ireland’s leading connected entertainment provider and commercial broadcasting company, we celebrate creativity. Which is why we’ve teamed up with the Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival to launch it. Do you have the fresh, fearless talent we’re looking for? Here’s your chance to share your vision.
The ultimate winner will win a €35,000 worth of investment to fund the production of a 10 minute short film, which will then be broadcast on Virgin Media Television, Virgin Media On Demand and screened at the Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival 2020.
How to enter:
The competition is open to filmmakers who submit a script referencing the theme of ‘Discover Different’. At Virgin Media we are invested in the value of discovering the best entertainment whether that’s our epic range of live channels and sports channels, the latest dramas and documentaries or the biggest blockbusters and best Catch Up and On Demand players.
The idea of Discovering Different could mean new a perspective on an accepted theme, an issue that society is facing or something unseen you’d like to shine a light on. Whatever that point of difference is for you, we’d like to hear about it. Be brave, be bold, be different.
Deadline for entries is Friday, the 26th of July 2019. A shortlist will be selected in September, with the chosen film going into production in September 2019.
