4 Talent: Extra - Coming Up

On his blog, Danny Stack notices that Channel 4 are inviting applications for Coming Up, "The only talent scheme currently in the UK where emerging filmmakers have the opportunity to make an authored drama with a guaranteed network broadcast."

The scheme is open to writers, directors and writer-directors.

This is not an entry level scheme - but for writers and directors building a track record and a career in film and television drama. Submissions from multi-cultural and regionally-based filmmakers are encouraged.

Channel Four's partner in the scheme is Touchpaper TV. The closing date for applications is 17 April 2009.
