You may or may not have already heard the buzz about the Samsung Launching People initiative but we at New Empress Towers thought that it was still worth having a little shout about. Do you have a script sitting around you want to do something with? None other than Idris Elba is waiting to hear your pitch…
If you haven’t gathered this by now, Idris is a mentor for Samsung’s Launching People which is looking for new British talent; so if you have a big idea you’d like to work on with him then get applying. All you need to do is make a little video to tell him who you are, what you’re about and the idea that’s been keeping you up at night. You get two minutes, so you better make it count.
Each of the Samsung Launching People initiative mentors from the four categories (Idris included) will pick four people to work with, so we reckon you have a good shot at getting one of the four Film places. The only downside is that you’ll have to be mentored so all of us watching the telly box can see (on Sky 1), but you can cross that bridge when you come to it.
Submissions are open until 6 th March via Launching People
Blurb on the Launching People process;
The mentors will select four candidates per category who they’ll work one-to-one. They’ll then spend 2-3 weeks together, working closely with their mentors in a house fully furnished with Samsung’s latest technology on their personal projects, making their ideas and ambitions a reality. The public will also get to vote for one winner in each category to receive personal tuition and Samsung technology.
