A joint event from the Writers' Guild, Directors UK, Equity and PACT

Are you a writer with a project to pitch, a director looking for your next script, a producer looking for cast and writing and directing talent, or a television actor looking to move into film?

If you’re looking to work on a professional independent film project, then this is for you.

The Writers' Guild, Directors UK, Equity and PACT have teamed up to bring you an evening of Indie Film Networking as part of the BFI London Film Festival. At this cross-networking event we’ll bring together 100 writers, directors, actors and producers to attend a special session at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, on the evening of Tuesday 25 October.

To apply, send us information on your project and we will play matchmaker for the top 25 compatible members from each organisation. 

Qualifying criteria for writers

The event is open to all Full Members of the Writers' Guild with professional writing credits (in film, television or theatre) with a project prepared. There are a limited number of places and all qualified submissions will be entered into a draw.

Send us one A4 page (max) on: 

• Why you want to attend 
• Who you would most like to meet and why 
• What sort of project you have 

You may include things such as genre, budget, a short paragraph pitch and any other relevant information. You must be able to attend the evening itself on the Tuesday 25 October

To apply, please email: anne@writersguild.org.uk by Monday morning 17 October at the very latest.

If this event is successful, we will be looking at the possibility of running further events outside London.
