GOT AN IDEA?

We’re commissioning two new projects.
Submissions open for filmmakers, writers, directors & producers.

Submissions Open

New Projects

We are currently planning to develop two new productions and are inviting submissions from filmmakers, writers, directors and producers with a project or idea they would like to bring to life.

 

At Unusual Crowd, we work closely with artists from early development through to production, shaping projects through discussion, experimentation, and a shared commitment to getting the detail right.

 

We prioritise work that is intentional and considered, where creative choices are purposeful, performances feel truthful, and the final piece connects with audiences in a lasting way.

We are particularly drawn to projects that invite audiences to engage more deeply — work that evokes feeling, holds complexity, and resists easy answers.

 

We are interested in stories that reflect the world as it is now: contemporary, questioning, and alive to the tensions shaping society today. This might mean work that explores social, political or personal themes, but always through a human lens, with nuance and care.

 

We favour projects that trust their audience , that create space for reflection, ambiguity, and perspective. Work that doesn’t tell people what to think, but instead encourages them to look again, and think again. We want audiences to leave with something that lingers — a feeling or question that stays with them and continues to unfold long after the work has ended.

 

Whether your idea is at an early stage or already in development, we are open to hearing from artists with a strong voice and a clear sense of purpose.

If you have a project that feels timely, considered, and emotionally resonant, we would love to hear from you.

PEOPLE WE ARE LOOKING TO COLLABORATE WITH:

DIRECTORS

We are seeking directors with a strong artistic vision and a collaborative approach. We value those who prioritise clarity, nuance, and performance, and who are skilled at drawing out truthful, compelling work from actors, shaping projects that resonate emotionally and offer fresh perspectives.

FILM MAKERS

We’re looking for filmmakers with a clear creative voice and a project in mind — short or feature-length. We’re drawn to work that is emotionally precise, socially aware, and engages with political realities, telling urgent, relevant stories that reflect contemporary life and invite audiences to think more deeply.

PLAYWRIGHTS

We welcome playwrights developing original work that feels considered and purposeful. We’re interested in writing that explores complexity, holds emotional weight, and speaks to the present moment. Particularly scripts engaging with political and social themes, while challenging audiences and remaining rooted in human experience.

PRODUCERS

We’re looking to connect with producers who are thoughtful, organised, and creatively engaged — those passionate about developing meaningful work and supporting artists through process. We are particularly interested in producers with an idea they want to develop, to collaborate together on bringing it to life.
