As part of RTÉ’s TV50 celebrations, the RTÉ TV Documentary Unit and Filmbase are launching Doc on the Box: a forward-looking initiative designed to encourage a fresh, emerging voice in video documentary direction and production.
The competition (open to over-18s) offers a single, three-month contract to one individual to produce, direct and deliver a 25-minute, original video documentary story that is aimed at a twenty-something audience for RTÉ prime-time television broadcast.
The successful applicant will display a sense of directorial vision, they will also have DV or other camera experience as well as an understanding of video production: from prep to shoot, editing to delivery. The production will be mentored by an RTÉ Executive Producer.
An optional information morning will be held at Filmbase, Curved Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, on Saturday, February 4, 2012 from 10am to 1pm.
Bookings for the morning can be made via telephone: (01)6796716 or email: clare@filmbase.ie.
Doc on the Box guidelines and more information can be accessed through http://www.rte.ie/tv/doconthebox/ or www.filmbase.ie/doconthebox.
Deadline for submissions closes 5pm Friday March 2, 2012.
