Writersroom calls for isolation shorts
BBC Writersroom has issued a short-deadline call for original short-form scripts about self-isolating people who are connecting via video conferencing.
The scripts should be 5-10 minutes long with 2-4 characters. They can be friends, neighbours, family, strangers etc, but all being alone together and using modern tech to stay connected.
The stories should take place throughout and via a conference call and be set now or in the near future.
Four of the best will be produced with professional actors and released on BBC platforms throughout April. The selected writers will each receive £300.
