Film-making...
Hello!
I am bored so am sending out random emails! Remember ages ago (at least 5
years ago I think it was) when people were talking about making an IFIS film?
I just got this at work and thought I would forward it as it reminded me of
the crazy film plans :)

Propeller TV is looking for shorts films!
What is propeller?
Propeller is the only 'not for profit' UK TV channel dedicated to showcasing
short films and promoting new film and tv talent to the UK and Europe on SKY
TV!
Where can I watch propeller?
SKY CHANNEL 195
What is propeller looking for?
Propeller is looking for short films (horror, experimental, comedy, romance
animations, documentaries, unsigned music videos, student films, Making of's,
film trailers, outtakes, TV programmes and features!) The films can be any
length or genre!
How do I submit a film?
If you are the rightsholder and your film isn't still doing the festival
circuit, please submit your film on DVD to John Offord, Propeller TV, C/O
Screen Yorkshire, 46 The Calls, Leeds, LS2 7EY. You may submit as many films
as you want to the channel, free of charge.
What happens after I have submitted a film?
If your film is selected, we will then forward paperwork to you, which you
will need to read through and complete. In keeping with OFCOM regulations we
cannot broadcast films without the relevant clearances therefore, failure to
return paperwork will mean your film cannot not be broadcast.
What are we asking for?
Propeller asks for a non exclusive 3 year licence agreement, which can be
broken by the filmmaker at anytime. You retain all rights to your film.
What can propeller offer a filmmaker?
*Any financial surplus made from advertising or commercial revenue will be
reinvested in new productions
*propeller will be able to offer a free European platform for filmmakers to
showcase their work on SKY.
*propeller can also offer a broadcast credit for new talent seeking to
further their careers
*propeller offers an opportunity via the website for perspective buyers,
sales agents, commissioning editors to contact filmmakers direct and to vote
and rate films online
*A board of patrons, including key broadcasters, funding agencies and
regulators
Who finances propeller?
The financial impetus for the project came through the learning & Skills
Council Centre of Vocational Excellence Initiative, which has provided
support both regionally and nationally
When is propeller on air?
8pm-1am 7 days per week?
