In South Africa’s television commissions-challenged environment, it’s encouraging to hear that free-to-air channel e.tv has called for the submission of scripts for its one-hour feature film strand, eKasi OUR STORIES. Twenty-six films will be produced in this new season and a whole new crop of writers, directors and film practitioners will be trained in the process.

Anyone – from first time writers, to professional writers – may submit. All applications must be typed and applicants must have access to the Internet and a computer. The
