Originally it began in 1999, selected filmmakers were given 8 days, $800 and 800 feet of film to make a short film. Now the process has gone digital, but the idea is pretty much the same.
To apply, you or someone from your team must attend the registration/info session on December 10, 2011. You will then have to submit a 5-minute video pitch of your short film idea. 40 applicants will be chosen to pitch their idea live to a panel of industry professionals, who may then ask questions. 12 filmmakers or teams will be selected to have their story workshopped before the 6 winning teams are selected.
The films are to be made from March 16th – 23rd. The complete films will be screened at a gala event at at the Vogue Theatre on May 31, 2012.
