Nicole Volavka (MA filmmaking 2010 graduate) and Gabriel Vallejo (MA Screenwriting 2007 graduate) have been shortlisted for the next Microwave scheme for their project The Secret of Jean Baptiste, to be produced by Rob Watson.
Twelve shortlisted film-making teams will now take part in a four day boot camp - Microschool - which will consist of seminars, masterclasses and mentoring from established directors, writers and producers. Following Microschool, the teams will this year be given an extended development period- before going in front of the greenlight panel in early 2012. Up to six features will be greenlit in February 2012.
Launched in 2006, the scheme gives London based film-makers the chance to shoot a feature for up to £120,000.
