The Assignment

All participants in Qalam 2001 are being given an assignment on which they will be tested. This test, along with how they fare during the workshop and seminar, will be judged by the Qalam 2001 panel consisting of Joyce Thierry, Rekha Nigam, Sandhya Divecha, Vinta Nanda and the Indian Television Dot Com team (Anil Wanvari, Anoop Wanvari, Anand Gurnani, Harish Patil, Tuhin Amar, and Vishal Gurnani).

10 participants will be shortlisted and presented to industry on 21 December as individuals who have the potential to develop into good scriptwriters.

The assignment basically involves developing a one-page scene which can function as an opening to a TV series (you can decide the genre) - either mini or multi-episodic or as a movie - along with dialogue, based on the following situation.

A wealthy urbane sophisticated woman inherits a farm in a village far away from the city where she lives. After much thought she decides to make a trip to see what she has inherited. She falls in love with the rustic surroundings and decides to stay on. The only neighbour she has for miles around is male.....


Happy writing!!!
