The purpose of this film festival is to help support the local independent film/video production market. Our goal as a company is to enhance our relationship with our existing client base and reach out to the community and share all the products and services we provide to Minnesota producers.
Fill out and send in your application with an entrance fee of $50.00. Checks should be made to Z Systems, inc. All applications must be received before February 1st at 6:00pm. Drop off your Application in person at Z Systems, inc. or mail it to us at the address listed below.
You write the script, pick your genre, scout your locations, and cast your actors ahead of time. You may even rehearse it – but no shooting. Script deadline is Monday Febraury 15th 6:00pm.
Once we have your final script, we will be handing it off to a group of writers. We won’t alter your script much but we need to add a few surprises to keep the contest honest. Like adding a prop, changing a name, or adding a line of dialog. These things will be the control mechanism for the festival. We also have an even bigger surprise in the works!
The clock starts Monday, February 22 at 6:00 pm and stops on Sunday, February 28, 2010 at 6:00 pm.You have six days to shoot, edit, render, color correct, ADR, create music, title and burn. Then submit your final film of 4-7 min (+ 1 min for credits) to Z Systems.
Showings will be held Saturday March 6th and Sunday March 7th at the Oak Street Cinema in Minneapolis. The after-party will be held at Stub & Herbs — just accross the street from the theater.
A panel of local video producers will judge the submissions. After judging, Z Systems, inc. will host an awards ceremony (date and time of the awards ceremony to be announced).
The winner will receive a $1000 cash prize! 1st and 2nd runners up will also receive a prize (to be announced).
