Green Carnation Company are looking for script submissions for the second of their Queer All About It short film commissions.
The second commission theme is in response to the theme ‘My Queer Family’. They recognise that family can mean many things to LGBTQ+ people, both positive and negative.
They are looking for new scripts that celebrate different LGBTQ+ ideas of ‘family’. This could explore different forms of LGBTQ+ parenting (biological, adopted and foster parents), or it can explore the idea of our ‘chosen’ families versus our biological ones, or it could explore the relationships between different LGBTQ+ family members.
They are looking for scripts that are ultimately positive. They are looking to celebrate how LGBTQ+ people, define and redefine just what family means to us.
- Script Length: 5 to 8 minutes
- Number of performers: 1
- Deadline: Friday 17 July
- Submissions emailed to: GreenCarnationSubmissions@gmail.com with the subject ‘My Queer Family’
- Winning Commission fee: £500
They actively encourage submissions from writers from LGBTQ+ and other diverse backgrounds. We are particularly excited for ideas that can give new, different or unexpected perspectives.
As the project is funded by Arts Council England to support UK artists, they can only accept submissions from UK-based writers.
