Looking for writer to collaborate with on NASA Cinespace short film.

8 years, 3 months ago - Andy Sowerby

I’m searching for a writer to collaborate with on NASA’s Cinespace short film competition. The challenge is to create a short film that uses some of NASA’s archive footage. The deadline for submission is July 31. This year one of the judges is Richard Linklater.

I have an idea to make a short poetic film around a letter (voiceover monologue) from an astronaut to earth, although I’m open to discuss other ideas.

I don’t have the capacity (time or budget) to produce a traditional short film with characters, dialogue, etc for this deadline. So I’m aiming to create a film with archive and stock footage to visualise the letter. You could describe it like an ‘archive documentary poem’.

This is unpaid, just to enter the competition - any prize money would be split between everyone involved.

If you’re interested please get in touch.

A little about me:
I'm an experienced editor and sometimes director, working across various commercial projects. My films have been selected for a variety of film festivals including London Short Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival, and BBC Music Video Festival. You can see some of my work here: http://www.andysowerby.net/

Here’s some info from NASA Cinespace website:

“Films will be judged on the creativity, innovation, and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of spaceflight. NASA and Houston Cinema Arts Society will choose Finalists or “Official Selections” through a joint Selection Committee. From the pool of finalists, judge Richard Linklater will select the competition winners. All finalists and winners will be screened at the Houston Cinema Arts Festival (HCAF) in November 2016. They may also be screened at other film festivals around the country throughout the year, as well as by NASA to its audiences.”

Andy, I saw this some time ago - I'm interested in doing something. This is me:
I am a versatile and prolific writer who writes across different formats. As a scriptwriter, my work has been optioned by various companies, including the BBC, while I have been selected for a development program by Women In Film in Los Angeles and the Writers Bootcamp. I was a finalist in Matt Damon’s Project Greenlight, the Austin Film Festival, the Writers’ Store Industry Insider’s contest and Final Draft’s Big Break contest. Meanwhile my short film The Kid received an honourable mention in Tri-destined Studios first short film contest.

My short film LOOKING FOR DEENITA was shortlisted in the BBC’s Bollywood Shorts scheme and my sitcom MR FRASER was shortlisted in the BBC’s annual Talent scheme. I was also selected for the BBC’s Comedy Masterclass and the Taps Comedy Workshop.

I have an MA in Screenwriting at the University of the Arts in London and also studied at UCLA’s prestigious Film and Television department. I have also written plays, novels and short stories.
My background is in journalism and I have worked for a variety of newspapers, magazines and websites, including the Financial Times, Marie Claire, Yahoo!, BBC Worldwide and The Huffington Post UK.
