Returning for its second year, Sketch Screen is on the lookout for the best sketch comedy videos from around Blighty, to shine a light on the talented new filmmakers in British comedy.
A competition designed to highlight exceptional talent from the sketch comedy scene in filmmaking and run in partnership with COFILMIC the comedy film talent network, we gather a selection of the best video sketches from around the UK and screen them in front of a panel of industry judges live at the annual London Sketch Comedy Festival.
PREVIOUS WINNERS
Last year’s competition saw This Glorious Monster’s ‘Coming Out Clown’ selected as the winning film. They gained automatic inclusion into the Cofilmic comedy film festival and went on to win the sketch category being entered into a shortlist for a £10,000 development fund with Wild Seed Studios.
