蜜芽传媒

蜜芽传媒 Arts is looking to commission a new series of stand-alone 45-minute films for In My Own Words on 蜜芽传媒 One. The strand features leading cultural figures looking back at their life and career with intimate, unmediated first-person interviews mixed with archive and actuality. In your pitch please demonstrate how your subject will resonate with a mainstream 蜜芽传媒 One audience and how their life story will prove as gripping as their work.

We would expect films to feature unseen personal archive (both still and moving footage) combined with publicly available material to enable the subject to reflect on their life and output more deeply. You鈥檒l need to have genuine access to the talent/subject, and we鈥檒l need to be confident that there鈥檚 a wealth of rich archive available before we commission.

We鈥檙e looking to work with directors with a proven track record creating contemporary, blue-chip and stylish films which stand the test of time and offer an intimacy and psychological revelation that brings new insight to their subject. We would expect to have a discussion with you about the choice of director before you commit to talent on your proposal, but please feel free to give suggestions if you have a particularly strong relationship with a brilliant director.

We鈥檙e looking for single down the lens interviews with the subjects and limited actuality filming. We do not need proposals to include extra contributors, locations or format points.

How to pitch

The deadline for submissions is Thursday 23 October 2025.

Send ideas to Mark Bell via the PiCoS submission system with the title 鈥淚n My Own Words 鈥� [subject of film]鈥�. Treatments should be no longer than two sides of A4. We would expect you to name your preferred director(s) in your pitch.

We will commission strategically across the strand, considering the mix of titles across a year. Where we have multiple ideas with the same subject, decisions with be based on the quality of access and approach.

Commissioning decisions will be communicated by the end of November 2025.
