Over the moon to announce our brand new pilot initiative, the Underscore ScriptLab!
Made possible with the support of the BFI NETWORK awarding funds from The National Lottery.

If you want to support working class young people by creating accessible and exclusive public spaces for them - Head to our website to find out more about the Our Space programme and how you, as an organisation can sign their pledge and make a difference. reclaim.org.uk/our-space
If we want better outcomes for working-class children and young people they have to be part of decision making when it comes to spaces - and we need public bodies and public institutions to commit fully to this.
Producers / broadcasters: please, I am begging you, understand that only writers from the most priveleged backgrounds will be able to keep generating sample scripts. (1/4)
๐จUPDATE: Spotlight๐จ
Following our November Council meeting Equityโs new policy on Spotlight and casting directories has been announced

Exclusive: Stephen Graham's production company and Studiocanal-backed Birdie Pictures launch Grass Routes competition for working-class TV writers screendaily.com/news/matriarโฆ
A pause in the rollout of 'Premiere' is welcome, but the only good outcome of a reconsideration is abandoning the idea of tiered membership benefits on Spotlight. ๐งต [1/3]
Letโs not forget we pay for the โprivilegeโ of looking for work on @SpotlightUK often whilst unemployed whereas you use the service for free while employed.That is unfair as is this classist price hike.Time for CDโs to pay for @SpotlightUK & make it cheaper & fairer for actors?
Casting directors, agents, directors, actors and all industry ppl who are not happy with @SpotlightUKโs new tiered membership, please sign and share this petition to remove this new divisive feature: chng.it/4GJvRCJwMP
