112 Applications received!

The Digital Shorts deadline arrived on Monday 9th November and I was thrilled to receive 112 applications.  We changed the guidelines this year and were asking for scripts so I did wonder if we would get as many as previous years, clearly I didn’t need to worry!

Having spent several days logging the applications, it’s now the fun part – reading all the scripts with a script reader and making a list for interview.  Applicants will be notified on 4^th December if they have been selected for an interview – so fingers crossed you get a call from me on that day!
