Opportunity For Filmmakers
|
Aug 4, 2008 Building off the success of the 72-Hour Film Competition, the non-profit Grand Cinema is creating another opportunity expressly for regional filmmakers. During the Tacoma Film Festival in early October, we will feature approximately 90 minutes of local short films in a Local Filmmaker Showcase. Unlike the 72-Hour Film Competition, there are no restrictions on what kind of film you make. Any topic or genre is fair game as long as the final product is suitable for broad viewing (let’s call it PG-13).
Here are the general rules: 1. Films must be no longer than 5 minutes in length. 2. Films should be submitted only on DVD. 3. Films should have about 10-15 seconds of blank black screen at the beginning of the DVD prior to the start of the film. 4. Final films must be accompanied by a $15 entry fee. 5. Films are not guaranteed to be shown in the Tacoma Film Festival. We seek to fill about 90 minutes of time so the best 18 (approximately) movies will be screened together in the festival. 6. Filmmakers who have their movies selected for the festival will receive two complimentary tickets to the movie screening in the film festival. 7. Films are due at the Grand Cinema no later than 8. DO NOT create your entry through our website via withoutabox.com unless it is a longer film entry not part of this particular competition. Simply bring the DVD and $15 to the Grand’s lobby. 9. Submitted films should be accompanied by your complete contact information: name, address, phone number and email address. 10. Entries are limited to filmmakers from
