The Open Frame deadline arrives! Soon!
Films are due to me, in my office by Tuesday, April 14th at 9 am. The length limit is a firm seventeen minutes INCLUDING credits — tho’ I hope we’re going to get some films that are shorter? Those are real audience pleasers. I know that we have at least ONE music video. Which I’m pretty excited about. I hope that we’ll have more than just one???
Anyway. Please remember that accepted filmmakers are required to volunteer minimally four hours during the week of the festival. If your film is accepted, you’ll be notified on the 14th. I need everyone to reserve at least one hour of volunteer labor for the DAY OF the film festival (April 24th), but encourage you to use your other volunteer hours to promote the event and specifically your film. I encourage you to make posters & hang them around campus — I encourage you to include some face to face promotion but web promotion is both encouraged and expected.
If your film is accepted, you will be asked to nominate people for the following categories. Not all categories will receive an award. Only fulltime Malone students are eligible for Open Frame awards (except the one award, obviously).
If your film is accepted, you will also be asked to submit two – three high quality stills for promotional and event purposes.
I prefer to receive your film either on a hard drive in QUICKTIME format — OR you may send it to me using BOX.NET (email me for more info on box.net)
