Commissioning a film or moving-image work
A visitor can enter a gallery film halfway through. An audience at a screening experiences the opening together. Tell us where the work will meet its audience, and we can begin to discuss what to make.
Begin with one scene
Describe an image, place, sound or person the work should stay close to. A short note such as “the workshop just before the doors open” gives us something to discuss even before there is a script. Tell us why that moment matters to you.
Describe the viewing conditions
For an installation, include the room, the screen arrangement and whether people can hear sound. For an exhibition opening, campaign or online release, tell us where the film will appear, whether it needs captions or language versions, and any fixed date.
Bring what already exists
A location photograph, a short text or a link to footage can help us understand the project. Identify who made each item and which materials you can share. We can discuss the creative direction, the artist or collaborators the project calls for, and what the schedule and budget can support.
