Soho House Shorts
A new short film competition, featuring projects that are created from home
Soho House Shorts is a short film competition, encouraging members to make their own films using the resources that they have on hand. The winner, voted for by the Soho House membership, receives a mentoring session from a notable writer, producer or director to help with their next project
Calling all film-makers, screenwriters and cinema lovers. we’re launching Soho House Shorts, a project that ladders up to our global film competition Script House with IWC Schaffhausen. Featuring films that are conceived, directed and produced by members from home.
Using our June editorial theme, ‘Joy Of the New’, as inspiration, we’re asking all participants to create a one-page synopsis of their story and submit their two-minute film via Vimeo or YouTube by Friday 5 June. A panel of judges, including our team and a group of members from the film industry, will select five finalists, whose films will all be showcased on sohohouse.com from Monday 15 June onwards.
From Saturday 20 June, Soho House members will have a chance to vote for their favourite short film. The winning film-maker, who will be announced on Monday 29 June, will receive a mentoring session from a notable writer, producer or director to help with their next project, along with a two-night stay at a Soho House in their city.
