An overall winner will be announced at an awards ceremony in December and receives an additional £1,000 funding to go towards their next film production.
Submissions Open: April 1 - 30
Chloe White (An All Encompassing Light): "I was absolutely thrilled to be Shooting People's winner. It's been fantastic having my film screened in front a large audience (and making some great contacts through that), and then having some wonderful mentoring from top documentary producer Simon Chinn and production company Wildgaze. As a result of the mentoring, it's helped me to rethink my feature and restructure my trailer. The kit was fantastic to receive and the cash is a HUGE bonus. As an independent filmmaker it's so wonderful to have this kind of support and exposure. I've been a member of Shooting People since I began my career and through it, I've made really good friends, have taken advantage of the great discounts and heard about so many events and funding opportunities that have led to great things. Thank you!"
