"Pocket Shorts Scotland" at the Edinburgh International Film Fest

Scottish filmmakers are for the first time to be offered funding to make mini-productions just for the mobile phone, according to the New Scotsman.

"The scheme, being announced tonight at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, will provide grants of up to £3,000 each for eight short films of 60 seconds or less in length.

Scottish Screen, Scottish Enterprise and the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts are supporting the initiative, called Pocket Shorts Scotland.

... Tonight's Edinburgh launch will show eight short mobile phone films commissioned in England last November. The final Pocket Shorts Scotland films will be available to download from the internet or sent between mobile phones via video messaging or Bluetooth technology".
