The iPlayer Shorts strand is a bold and exciting venture between ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ iPlayer, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Drama Production to commission six original short films over two years, written and directed by the best up-and-coming writing and directing talent from across the UK.

Victoria Jaye, Head of TV Content, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ iPlayer, says:

“This ambitious new strand builds on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ iPlayer as a creative platform to bring original British drama to audiences online, and explores storytelling outside of a scheduled TV slot or duration. Audiences will be able to discover, share and enjoy these dramas whenever and wherever they choose.”

Hilary Salmon, Executive Producer for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Drama, says:

“This is a precious opportunity for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Drama Production to produce original content for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ iPlayer and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three audience and to build relationships with writing and directing talent that is on the way up.”
