Hi,

Is is a big post, smaller post have a better than average chance of getting read.

Please take a little time and read this one, it might be the big opportunity you have been looking for.

Your idea makes sense.

In this chicken and egg world, you have to start at the bottom and try to get your self known.

If you have talent, then this would be a good way to get known

But to make a film you need money, even a no budget film needs money.

So, even with your good idea it will still be difficult or some people to get started.

The following could be an option for some one out there to get started.

I think these people are taking a small risk and I hope they get lucky.

I looks like they are going to given talent a chance, I hope so.

Scottish and Grampian TV are looking for people, who are either, new or experienced documentary makers.

They intend putting together production teams to make the best ideas into reality.

They will make 13 only half hour slots, with the emphasis on style, presentation and original ways of realising subject matter.

You'd better be quick as the closing date is the 11th of January 2002.
