Open Frame Highlight Reel

Hey Old Friends & New,

Look at the cool highlight reel that AJG put together this past summer. We're ramping up for this years' OPEN FRAME right now.



Were you involved in the Open Frame back in the day? Or just attend the event? Maybe you're a current student filmmaker? or someone local to Northeast Ohio who wouldn't mind getting involved in our student films?

Add us as a friend on myspace...we'll post opportunities and announcements there!

What Qualifies a Film as Malone-Student-Made

A few criteria have grown up around the fest and been passed around in the oral tradition. Here are the standards which have a little bit of elasticity to them:

- A film made by all Malone students obviously counts,

- If some of the "major players" (writer, director, actors, producers, composers) are not students, then a film must include THREE Malone students in these roles in order to be eligible for awards.

- A film made by one Malone student in collaboration with only non-Malone students WILL still be eligible to screen at the festival as long as that student played a significant role in the production of the film.
