Vale of Clwyd MP Dr James Davies is calling on local students and independent filmmakers to enter a prestigious competition which could put them on the path to stardom.
The Parliament-sponsored annual competition 'Film the House' puts young local filmmakers in contact with the movers and shakers of the film industry and a spotlight on the best of UK film talent. It also gives MPs the opportunity to engage with talented constituents and the creative industries, which contribute over £115billion to the UK economy and employ over two million people each year.
James is keen to see people from the Vale of Clwyd enter.
He said:
"Film the House is a pioneering competition that showcases the UK’s young filmmakers, while raising awareness about the importance of intellectual property (IP) to our creative industries.
"Last year entries were received from more than 140 constituencies across the country. I know there are many talented people here in the Vale of Clwyd and I encourage them to seize this fantastic opportunity to showcase what they have to offer."
An expert industry panel of leading figures from across Britain’s creative landscape will choose the shortlist and winners. Prizes include mentoring from film industry professionals, BBFC classification of the winning films and cash prizes.
Film the House categories open for entries: • Best Film Script (under 19) • Best Film Script (19 and over) • Directors UK Best Film Direction (under 19) • Directors UK Best Film Direction (19 and over) • Best Short Film (under 19) • Best Short Film (19 and over).
The competition closing date is 6 January 2023.
