AUDITIONS: Jameson And Kevin Spacey Are Looking For Your Film

The Jameson First Shot film competition, in partnership with Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti of Trigger Street Productions, is seeking gifted and undiscovered filmmakers from around the world with compelling stories to tell to participate in its 2015 edition. 

The three talented winners will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have their scripts developed into short films, starring Adrien Brody in the lead role.

The Jameson First Shot competition offers filmmakers the opportunity to break into the industry. Knowing how difficult this can be, Kevin Spacey sees it as his duty to help young talent and says: 

“If you’ve been successful at the career you wanted to have, it’s your obligation to spend a good portion of your time sending the elevator back down.” 

Dana Brunetti, a renowned producer who will be making the winners’ films with his experienced crew, concurs: 

“Any time you can open a path for people who actually have talent to demonstrate, it’s a wonderful thing. Hollywood doesn’t have a monopoly on talent”

Adrien Brody will play the lead in this year’s winning films. His own journey from unknown actor to Oscar-winner was far from easy, making him a natural match for the competition. 

“Jameson First Shot affords talented writer/directors an important gift,” says Brody, 

“the confidence to exercise fearlessness and the opportunity to materialise their dreams.”

Due to the overwhelming response to 2014’s competition; Jameson is expanding to give more unearthed talent the chance to enter their work. Entrants living in the UK, Ireland, India, Australia and Canada, in addition to SA, Russia and the US, are now eligible to enter.

The competition is open to entries from the 3 November and the rules, including length and theme, can be found at The Jameson First Shot film competition website.

The winning shorts will be premiered in LA with the acclaimed team in attendance.
