National Short
Film contest for University and College students.
The contest is
being hosted by
www.theproject.tv and is structured as a 3-episode short film
miniseries in which the student will have to structure, write,
shoot, and edit a sequence of three, 3 minute short films which
carry a common theme or topic throughout. The episodes may be
traditional or animations.
The Voting
structure of the contest is based on popular voting similar to
American Idol. Once an episode is submitted, the viewers will vote
for the Director whose series they would like to see continue.
Those Directors with the most votes will then move on to the next
round while those with the least votes will be eliminated. There
are a total of 3 rounds. In the final round, the 3 directors with
the most votes will win $25,000, $10,000, and $5,000 respectively.
We hope you see
the value in creating a contest that requires a little more thought,
structure, and discipline than the usual short film festival. Also,
because every episode will be viewable online, students will have
the opportunity to interact and get valuable feedback from their
peers.
