AtomFilms and Intel Launch Independent Film Contest 
Filmmakers to wave "magic wand" for worldwide exposure and $45,000 grand prize 

AtomFilms® and Intel Corporation launched the Intel Indies Film Contest with a call
for short film entries available at http://intel.atomfilms.com. Filmmakers who enter
before the November 21, 2005 deadline will compete for a grand prize that includes
worldwide distribution from AtomFilms, $25,000 in cash and $20,000 in digital home
equipment from Intel. Winners will be announced at a major film festival in January
2006.

The contest asks entrants to create films that imagine what they would do with a
magic wand. The theme allows entrants to fully unleash their imagination and tell
the story of how they would transform their world, to make it better, easier, and
more exciting, all through the magic of movies.

Entries will be judged by a panel of industry experts, AtomFilms staff and Intel
Corp. staff.
