Do you think you can surpass Spielberg, better Nick Broomfield or make the perfect music video? Channel 4 is looking for deaf or disabled people to form a new filmmaking team called The Shooting Party.

We’re looking for people with strong ideas, bags of energy and the confidence to make an original 3-5 minute film - it can be a documentary, drama, music video or any other kind of short - to be broadcast on Channel 4.

If you are chosen to join The Shooting Party not only will you direct your own short film, you’ll help other members of the group make their films too.

And while you're doing it, we're going to make a film about you making the film! - so you must be prepared to shine in front of the camera as well as behind it. On top of this, we’re offering an award of further training in television or film for the winning filmmaker, decided by a panel of industry professionals.

Broadcast experience welcome but not necessary. Just talent, fresh ideas, and a burning desire to make your film.
