snipped off the northerner:
A writers' competition has been launched to come up with a romantic script centred on life in Gateshead, reports the Newcastle Journal. The winning screenplay will be turned into a full-length romantic comedy.
The chief executive of Northern Film and Media, Tom Harvey, said: "Gateshead boasts some stunning locations that would look great in a romantic comedy." He hopes that the film will do what Hugh Grant did for Notting Hill and Tom Hanks for Seattle. How about Giddy in Gateshead or Snow Angel of the North?
The closing date is March 31. The organisers recommend that writers attend a two-day workshop in Newcastle in mid-March.
