FILM CONTEST!

Feb 07, 2010 • Vitals •

Here’s a lazy Sunday thought for you, Los Angeles: a short film competition.

Ah, how fast we can get your attention!

So get this: Los Angeles magazine is holding a free online short-film competition.

When: February 3 – March 3, 2010
Length: under 3 minutes
Topic: Los Angeles

From Los Angeles magazine:

[The shorts] can be biographical, documentary, or fictional portraits of the city. The top entries will be posted on March 15 and will be judged by readers and a jury of prominent Angelenos. The winners—an “Audience Favorite” and an “Official Selection”—will be announced in early April.

The official winner and audience-chosen winner get:

  • Coverage in Los Angeles magazine
  • A special reception at City Hall
  • A screening of the film at a major movie theatre
  • A meeting with a top entertainment agent or a studio executive

Watch Designed for Dreaming, the short made by Los Angeles magazine’s columnist Chris Nichols to get an idea of what you’re up against (it’s really kind of epiclulz awesome).

Now go kick some filmmaker and amateur ass. And remember: if it’s sexy, we wanna know all about it.
