BookFlicks - Apply

What is BookFlicks?
BookFlicks is an Arts Council England supported project that offers creative people the chance to celebrate the books they love by making their own TikTok style films about them, then getting them seen internationally on social media.
Each successful BookFlicks applicant will be supported through the whole creative process as they make their own original content and then guided as to how to reach the biggest audiences possible.
