I May Destroy You and Chewing Gum creator Michaela Coel has partnered with the BFI and German carmaker BMW to launch a new filmmaking challenge.
The BMW Filmmaking Challenge will provide five shortlisted filmmakers with access to a $12,000 (£10,000) production fund alongside a series of mentoring sessions with Coel and an executive producer from the BFI to create a 90-second short film.
From the five shorts, a winning film will be selected to premiere as part of the closing night gala of the BFI London Film Festival in October 2023.
All five films will be available on BFI Player. The BFI will open applications in March 2023. The chosen filmmakers will be given the budget to produce their films over the summer months.
