The GET IT MADE
Team Building Ball!
CenterFrame is all about the power of collaboration and community. So at Get It Made, we’ve made this a core element: yes, it’s a competition. But you have to form a team to win it!
The writers, directors, and producers selected by the CenterFrame team and short-listed by our readers will be invited to attend the GET IT MADE Teambuilding Ball.
At our Team Building Ball participants will meet and drink with a diverse group of creative minds, all hell-bent on telling compelling, original stories.
Shortlisted writers, directors and producers will be able to check out each others’ profiles and work, and express an interest in meeting at the ball, and potentially form a team.
They will have both 1-on-1 pre-arranged meetings and some free-ranged networking time to choose who to work with and form teams around the shortlisted scripts.
These teams will work together to develop the script further and build a pitch for the project.

The GET IT MADE Competition has been a wonderful career-changing event!

CenterFrame pulled together such a brilliant event at BAFTA, where all the shortlisted writers, directors & producers were able to set up meetings as well as mingle in the bar, Once we were in our teams, they were there to support the whole way through. Before I entered the competition, I had very limited network. Not anymore!

The first thing you notice about CenterFrame, is that they care about films. And that they know what it takes to make one. From day one, I felt nothing but support and understanding from a group of people who are determined to help me make the best film I can, without compromises or corner cutting.
