Boiler Room are commissioning at least one original documentary celebrating stories from the front line of global underground music culture. The finalists will take part in a Live Pitch at Sheffield Doc/Fest will take place Tuesday 12 June 2018.


As an independent music platform Boiler Room remains true to London underground's history. Connecting club culture to the wider world though parties, film, video and archive, enabling anyone, regardless of where they live, to enjoy the freedomit stands for. 


Boiler Room is looking to commission fun, energetic, intriguing films built around provocative, attention-grabbing headlines. Budget: £10,000.

Films can be 10-20 minutes in length, driven by subject matter. 

Commissioned films must engage with the two big Boiler Room themes - dance music and hedonism - with a clear narrative hook that drives sharability and allows them to reach beyond a core audience of music fans.


The winning film will be platformed across Boiler Room’s channels, with screening events and a marketing campaign behind it to maximise reach.
