Dailymotion, one of the World's biggest video platforms, is working with Raindance Film Festival's Web Fest on a competition to find the best future talent of independent web series.
The competition is now open for filmmakers, who are invited to submit a five minute scripted pilot episode of a series. The winning pilot will not only receive a £2,500 cash award towards production costs of their web series, but will also have the chance to use the post production facilities at Dailymotion's Paris studios. Furthermore, Dailymotion are offering to feature the winning web series through their editorial, on their home page and social media, giving the winning film maker additional promotional assistance through their site.
The competition is part of Raindance Web Fest, a dedicated web series festival, for the second year running with the launch of an exclusive web TV pilot competition. Web Fest, which takes place on 27th and 28th September 2014, during Raindance Film Festival will feature a packed schedule of screenings and panel discussions with industry experts, covering topics from digital storytelling, to creating the social TV experience.
Elliot Grove, Raindance Founder comments: The internet has created exciting opportunities for independent filmmakers, often working with limited budgets, to be discovered. A web series has become the new short form content that creatives and studio executives expect and Web Fest aims to educate and celebrate the great work that's already available online. We are thrilled to be working with Dailymotion to launch the web TV pilot competition and look forward to unveiling the next Jenji Kohan!
Following the success of last year's Web Fest, where 50 international web series were screened including two world premieres, this year's festival will also host the British Independent Series Awards (BISA) the first ever awards dedicated to recognising upcoming talent within the industry.
