Two talented
Mediabox and Bebo are searching for dual talents in front of and behind the camera, judged by T4 presenter Rick Edwards.
This is an opportunity for ten budding young filmmakers to make their own short films. The films will be showcased on Bebo and Charge, Community Channel’s youth platform.
Rare opportunity
‘Two Talented’ is supported by T4 presenter and new XFM radio host Rick Edwards is for disadvantaged young people aged 13 to 19 to make films about their extraordinary friends.
Rick said: “If like me you’ve ever wanted to make a film but just haven’t got the cameras or whatever, then this competition’s for you. I’ve got one problem with it - why didn’t it exist when I was a teenager? I’m well gutted.”
As well as getting their films seen on TV and online, the winner will receive a video camera and a £250 grant to make the film.
Enter on Bebo
To enter the competition, visit the Charge profile on Bebo and write a short paragraph on why your friend deserves to have a film made about them. Winning entrants will then be invited to an all-expenses paid filmmaking workshop in London and will be mentored by media professionals who will work closely with them to make their filming project a reality. The closing date for entries is April 30 2008.
So if you think you have dual talent – both in front of and behind the camera – enter now.
