South West Screen and the UK Film Council in association with Aardman Animations, the Engine Room and PVA MediaLab are seeking to commission up to nine innovative short film ideas from individuals based in the South West who are interested in exploring new approaches to digital format.

The aim is to support a mix of shorts, of a maximum 10 minutes duration each, that can be made with a budget of no more than £10,000. Any genre can be considered, but the ideas should be suitable for a range of distribution platforms.
