We are looking for new work centered around the climate crisis. It has been unequivocally declared by the IPCC that climate change is human-caused, and the situation is declining rapidly. From wildfires across the USA and Europe to floods and droughts causing mass migrations across the world, climate change needs to become a daily conversation in our lives. How do we discuss it? How do we deal with the anxiety and the trauma that undoubtedly come with these conversations?  

 

What it's for: 

​

• It is a way for us to get to know writers and to build new relationships, rather than a service guaranteed to provide detailed feedback on every submitted script. 

• We are looking to produce work on the climate crisis and your script could be our next production.  

​
