Modern Britain is a richly diverse melting pot of cultures and ideas. It’s part of our extensive remit to reflect this and 4Stories offers you the perfect way to get involved.

This initiative is about seeking out fresh perspectives and distinctive voices amongst new and emerging talent. It’s about nurturing that talent and giving it the platform it deserves to reach a wider audience. We’re looking for three writers and three directors to tell one big story from three unique points of view. The result will be a three-part series of half-hour, interconnected films which we’ll broadcast on Channel 4.

New stories told by different voices from fresh perspectives. This is what Channel 4 is all about. Our partnership with Northumbria University and New Writing North will see us seek out these new storytellers through series of roadshows in Northern cities. Twenty submissions will go before our judging panel from which two bursary winners will be identified. They will go on to work with Bonafide and Lime Pictures to realise their work to production standard.
