BATS Theatre and the Spectral Piano Company are collaborating on an original, short film project.

We want to involve BATS Theatre members in all aspects of the film production – everything from screenplay to acting to film editing.

Crew are needed for different technical roles related to filming and post-production. If you’re interested, please contact scriptcontest2015@bats.no for further information and to let us know how you would like to be involved. Leonardo Duerto and Terry Thorpe will direct the film and Lisa Bingham will produce.

A casting call is tentatively scheduled for late September with filming in October.

And the winner of the 2015 Script Contest is….

Carl Cosgriff Norås with his submission of For Pete’s Sake!

In all there were eight script submissions which covered topics from death, separation, break ups, senility, aging, trust, murder, and regret, among others, and in comedic, dramatic, and horror styles. The committee found the process difficult as the subject matter was so wide and varied.

A little about Carl…He is from Stavanger but now lives in Australia where he went to SAE Institute and received a degree in Film Production.
