UPDATE - The Comedy Smalls 2009 have EXTENDED THE DEADLINE TO ENTER, until November 25th 2009! We're excited to say that our call for entries is still open. This of course means that if you have not yet submitted your films there is still time to do so now!
In collaboration with the nations favourite comedy channel G.O.L.D, we are inviting writers, directors, illustrators or comedians that are ready to conquer the world of comedy.
This year’s theme is TRAVEL. We encourage all filmmakers to take us on a trip we’re unlikely to ever forget. Blow our minds into space. Take us on a journey where you conquer the world, even if that means exploring the harsh outback of your city patio. All we ask you to do is make us laugh, remember to keep your story under 5 minutes long, and send it to us before the
EXTENDED DEADLINE date of November 25th 2009.
The Smalls and G.O.L.D are excited to be working together in their search for the talent of tomorrow. As a dedicated supporter of emerging filmmakers, The Smalls works to promote new talent that make engaging and entertaining short films and no-one knows comedy like G.O.L.D. the natural home of some of the UK’s best known comedians of today.
The winner, who will be announced at The Comedy Smalls Awards on December 2nd 2009, will have the opportunity to pitch their original ideas to G.O.L.D.
