Working In Film is a new network for filmmakers, listing events, jobs and companies within the film industry.
We are currently beta testing the website and were wondering if those of you who are interested in a career in film/TV would register with the website (for free) and leave feedback as to how you think the website can be improved?
By registering, you will be able to make a profile of your work and be found by users of the website searching for talented filmmakers.
The RTS is holding an evening event aimed at scriptwriters:
“How does a writer get a comedy script from their brain onto a tv screen? How does a producer sell that script to a commissioner? What exactly is a commissioner looking for in a script? And just what is it that a channel controller does, exactly? Guided by Richard Bacon, our extremely talented and beautiful panel attempt to answer these and other questions.”
Amazon has launched Amazon Studios, a website for aspiring filmmakers and screenwriters. The concept is simple: allow those aspiring filmmakers and screenwriters to upload their work, collaborate and obtain feedback from others, and take the cream of the crop forward for possible production.

From Abby, at Nokia Push:
The deadline for Nokia Push N8 submissions has been extended to Friday 22 October 2010 at 6pm GMT.

So, this means there’s still time to enter to win a prototype, Nokia N8 devices and a cool $1000 to cover your production costs.

Please submit your ideas and help us spread the word!
But hurry; the jobs close on September 14.
What’s the story? Could it be yet another Corrie glory? There have been plenty of glorious storylines over the past 50 years. And long may they continue.
