Writer/director Jules Bishop and producer Olivier Kaempfer, both LFS graduates, have been selected for the Microwave project. Their project 'Borrowed Time' is one of two new features greenlit from over 80 applications and will receive up to £60,000 cash funding from Microwave.
Film London Microwave was launched in 2006 and is a groundbreaking scheme set up by Film London with BBC Films, with extensive support from Skillset. It challenges London-based film-makers to shoot a feature film for up to £100,000 with cash and in-kind support. Microwave provides an intensive approach to film-making with the emphasis on original ideas, tightly focussed scripts and short production schedules. The film-makers are supported by extensive training and mentoring from the initial conception of the project all the way through to its release.
