Red Rock Entertainment Ltd has launched an exciting short film competition, supporting UK filmmakers and offering them opportunity to see their film become a reality.

The competition comes in conjunction with The Century Club, which has a longstanding history with the creative industry being an exclusive members club in the heart of Soho with many leading film writers, directors and actors amongst its membership. The short film writing competition aims to give some of the brightest UK writers and directors the chance to land a £5,000 budget to make their film. Scripts will be judged by a panel of film industry experts who are looking for innovative and creative ideas which can be realised for £5,000 or less.
On February 22nd, 2016, the Century Club will be hosting the Red Carpet Event where they will be screening short films made by Century Club members and winners of the Century Short Film Festival.

We're looking forward to seeing the entries and we're keen to back a great short film project with an innovative approach. Red Rock Entertainment supports investment in the UK film industry and we want to ensure fresh talent benefits from investment also."
