Tall Story Script Callout

Episode 1, Series 1 The Bay. Wriut

In response to #BlackLivesMatter Tall Story Pictures want to support and deliver long-term, sustainable change to our industry. We will be making a series of announcements over the next few months, but we’re starting today with a callout to Black British voices who do not have an agent. 

We will read and provide written and verbal feedback on your 60-minute TV script in one-to-one sessions with a member of the TSP editorial team. We ask that the script has a standard industry format. The first page of episode 1, series 1 of The Bay written by Daragh Carville is above and shows the format (other examples can be found online). The free software to write your scripts is available at Celtx (https://www.celtx.com/index.html). We will then host a hangout Q&A with the TSP team for you to connect with the other callout writers and to provide advice on the TV industry.

The script window will open on Monday 13th July. It will be capped to a maximum number of scripts. Submit your name, social media handle, a log line, genre and script in a PDF format to scripts@tallstorypictures.co.uk We will only accept TV scripts.

We’re planning 3 callouts a year and we’ll continue to focus on under-represented voices, but we’re starting with Black British talent. Keep watching our feeds for new dates and new announcements.

This is an opportunity for industry feedback on your scripts, advising on next steps and is not a competition. We will give feedback within 4 weeks of receipt. 

We’re looking forward to reading your work.
