Film Dash is a 48-hour challenge I’m organising for Birmingham’s film makers.
The essence of the idea is this:
- On Friday 17 October film makers will be told the criteria for their short film
- Teams (or individuals) will have 48 hours to script/shoot/edit/whatever their films
- On Sunday 19 October the films that make the deadline will be screened
The other details for the challenge are still coming together. Over the coming weeks there will be annoucements as to the screening venue, the rules and perhaps even information about judges and prizes.
The competition is meant to be all-inclusive and fun. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve got a stack of expensive camera equipment or just a mobile phone to film on and remember – experience is no match for a good idea. This is all about imagination, playfulness and telling a story.
Information about the challenge can be found on the Film Dash blog.
Everyone who wants to take part needs to email SUBSCRIBE to filmdash@gmail.com so I can confirm details and get some idea of how many people are planning to get involved.
