The Betty Box and Peter Rogers Comedy Writing Programme is a new initiative to encourage new comedy writing talent.
Four emerging comedy writers will each be awarded £10,000 and take part in a personalised script development programme
The Betty Box and Peter Rogers Comedy Writing Programme comes from the Cinema and TV Benevolent Fund (CTBF) in partnership with Big Talk Productions and LOCO (The London Comedy Film Festival). Four emerging writers will be funded and awarded a personalised seven-month programme of industry support from the film or TV team at Big Talk to develop a comedy feature film screenplay or a pilot script for a narrative comedy television series.
