Showcase your fanart for BritBox's newest show, The Other Bennett Sister, in a fun, dynamic social video.
*This is a very quick turn project with production on your artwork and rough cut of video needing to be done by 5/14 and a final delivery by 5/18*
Fans of romantic, Regency-inspired storytelling already know and love BritBox's The Other Bennet Sister for its soft, character-driven charm and immersive world. Now, we’re inviting that same devoted audience to take their love a step further. Based on a spin-off novel that follows Mary Bennet, the overlooked middle sister, The Other Bennet Sister takes a modern emotional take on Austen's Pride and Prejudice. We are looking for those Jane Austen fans—makers, artists, and storytellers alike—to transform their favorite moments, characters, and moods from The Other Bennet Sister into tangible, personal works of art.
We are looking for two creators to showcase their unique fan art for The Other Bennet Sister in a :15 art time-lapse process video. This is a fun opportunity to reimagine the romance and wit of this new BritBox original series through your own lens, celebrating the elegance and emotion that define the Regency period and Mary Bennet in particular. Your artwork and video should feel warm, intimate, and slightly whimsical; this is your chance to explore cottagecore aesthetics and rich detail. Imagine your art process video as a love letter to the world of the show. If greenlit, your video will be posted on BritBox's social media as well as your own social channels, tagging @BritBoxTV. BritBox may also post to their channels and tag you so make sure to include your social media handles in your pitch.
Your fan art can be done by hand or digitally; our goal is to spotlight different mediums such as paint, papercraft, clay, sand, digital motion graphics, or whatever materials you may have at your disposal. However you decide to craft the final piece of art, we do want this to be an engaging video fit for social, so think about creative ways to highlight your finished piece in a time-lapse process video. The reference videos in the Background highlight the kind of creativity and craftsmanship we’re excited to see, with work that feels both personal and transportive.

EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES:
AI USAGE: You may not use AI generated visual or audio assets in your final content. However, for the purposes of your pitch and pre-production materials, you are welcome to use generative AI to create visuals, storyboards, animatics, proofs-of-concept, etc. that might help the Sponsor understand your vision for creating the final content. Additionally, assistive AI tools (e.g. object removal, compositing, color grading, sound mixing, subtitling, etc.) may be used in post-production to supplement your workflow. Please keep record of any AI usage deployed in your submissions in the event that the Sponsor requests AI disclosures. If you have questions about any specific usage or tool, please ask your Tongal producer.
By participating in this project, creators acknowledge that the Sponsor is under no obligation to greenlight a submission. Though most projects do move forward, we'll notify you in the event the Sponsor decides not to fund any submissions via the Project Forum. Regardless of the result, all submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the Sponsor and project team.
