Talent Schemes
Great television should engage and surprise. Formats that reinvent and reimagine the tried and tested. Content that inspires and connects us to new audiences. Creating pioneering output means taking risks, keeping things fresh and seeing things through new eyes and from different perspectives. Which is why we invest in talent – those who can create compelling ideas and fascinating stories; and those with the vision to devise new ways to showcase them.

4Stories
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.

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.
