3 Minute Wonder is a short
primetime
schedule. It offers first-time directors and assistant producers the opportunity to air their work to a large audience, and in doing so, to take a first step into the competitive UK film industry.
The 3 Minute Wonder strand is part of the Channel 4's 4Talent initiative to help new talent break into the very competitive
FourDocs and the Channel 4 Sheffield Pitch
documentary competition.
Channel 4 offers new directors £4000 and their assistance in making their shorts which are then broadcast at 7:55 pm every weekday.[1]
The films shown on the series are primarily
domestic abuse.[1]
It has previously featured Karl Pilkington in a series of 4 and was mentioned on The Ricky Gervais Show.
