Screen Australia, Warp X and Madman today announced Keep Your Wits About You, an exciting two-day workshop to develop feature film concepts that steer two well known genres – comedy and thriller – in new and original directions.
Applications are sought from writers or writer/directors who understand that a thriller should be thrilling and a comedy should be funny, but can push the genres in unexpected, innovative and inspired ways for a 21st century marketplace. When developing either, you’ll need to keep your wits about you – and so will your audience. Ideas must have the potential to communicate to a local and an international audience, and be made within low-budget parameters of contained cast and locations.
