Get 8 Grand to Shoot in Offaly

FilmOffaly in association with Filmbase have just announced details of the FilmOffaly Award 2009.

It's a new funding initiative to foster creative, resourceful filmmaking in Offaly. They're looking for unique, original stories by talented new filmmakers, professional and novice alike. The only stipulation is that the filming must take place in Offaly. Yikes!

Much like with THE HIGHLANDER, There Can Be Only One, so competition will be tough with the one successful applicant receiving:
8,000 euro towards the cost of the production
A premier in Tullamore Omniplex Cinema
A one year Filmbase membership to the Writer, Producer and Director of the winning film
A fifty percent discount on production equipment and / or editing facilities from Filmbase for the project
Filmbase's production insurance to cover the shoot

Please submit a script including 500 word synopsis of the film project by Friday, April 3rd at 3pm to:
FilmOffaly, Offaly County Council, Charleville Road, Tullamore, Co. Offaly.
