From Silence:
Get
Connected, the charity that provides a helpline for young people, and
digital advertising agency Silence are launching a website, Nobody's
Perfect, for young filmmakers and actors to showcase their talents to
professional movie directors and producers. They can submit film, music
and scripts to win the chance of helping to produce 6 short films that
address issues like self-harm, sexuality and bullying.
"Get Connected provides a confidential phone, email and web-chat service for
under-25s and this competition will let them communicate their feelings
in a way that's relevant to them," says Chloe Darlington, External
Affairs Manager at Get Connected. "We chose to work with Silence
because of their unrivalled knowledge of the digital environment and
their enthusiasm for attracting entrants and rallying the film
industry."
British movie producer Nick O'Hagan (Fever Pitch, Wilde, Daylight
Robbery) is supporting Nobody's Perfect by judging entrants and
mentoring the winners. "I'm really pleased to be supporting this project," says Nick. "I feel
passionate about finding ways to help young people express themselves
through the arts. Hopefully we'll be able to uncover some exciting new
talent."
The project was conceived by Julian Davies, Managing Director at
Silence. "This is a huge opportunity for the future stars of the
British industry to work together for the first time and, hopefully,
inspire each other," says Julian. "It has been humbling to see so many
of our friends in the film industry offer their support."
The Nobody's Perfect website launches in July.
