Submission Call for One Minute Film and Video Festival
clock2

Attention aspiring filmmakers! If the prospect of setting out to make an entire film is daunting, try your hand at the One Minute Film and Video Festival. Making a film is hard and long work, so what better way to get some practice and force yourself to put something out there? Submissions are being accepted for another month — until August 31st, 2010. And you don’t even have to worry about starting with a blank slate. The festival has an annual theme, and this year’s is “Social”. Whatever comes to mind when you think of that word, put it on camera.

The submission fee is only ten bucks, and this year the fest is going paperless, so you can submit your film or video electronically without bothering to mail in the archaic physical artifact. There are pretty much no guidelines in terms of content — you can interpret this year’s theme as broadly and creatively as you want.  Visit the site for more info on specific submission and other relevant info. And start shooting!
