DEADLINE 4/7/2013 #6SecFilms Vine Competition

Call for entries for this unique film festival.

According to Tribeca:

"We're excited about Vine and we want to explore what's possible for the new app. So we're challenging you to make #6SecFilms on Vine to be judged by an illustrious jury."

 From their website.

Here's how it works: Vine creators will make as many Vines as they want in any of the following categories: #GENRE, #AUTEUR, #ANIMATE, or #SERIES (see details below), and our team of jurors will choose their favorites from a shortlist we share on the site. (More jury details to come, but we're excited to share that our jury panel already includes actor Adam "The King of Vine" Goldberg and Director Penny Marshall!) 

Sounds fun, right? Here's how to enter (you can read the official rules here):

STEP ONE: MAKE A VINE

A Vine doesn't give you a lot of time. Six seconds to be exact. We're challenging you to use that time to make a film. 

Tips: Your short film must tell story with a beginning, middle, and end. Creating unique characters, worlds, and plots for your Vine will give you an advantage. Embracing the Vinely qualities of looping, time manipulation, etc. will give you even more of one.

STEP TWO: TAG YOUR VINE

Tag your Vine #6SECFILMS and the hashtag of the category in which you want to enter. Read the categories below to see where you want to compete. Big note: the same Vine cannot be submitted to more than one category. Choose one category that best fits your Vine.

#GENRE
Are you thinking of a making a horror Vine? A sci-fi Vine? A western Vine? An LOLcat Vine? A comedy Vine? A funny sci-fi/western/horror Vine with a funny feline? This is the category for you. Show us how a genre film can best thrive in six seconds and you'll take home the winning prize.

#AUTEUR
Do you have a six second story or script that's truly unique? A tiny, concentrated expression of your vision? This is your Vine.

#ANIMATE
Are you an animator or thinking Vine is the perfect medium for some creative stop motion and don't want to deal with the live-action riffraff? Then we don't need to tell you this is your category.

#SERIES
Do you have a character or world too big for six seconds? That's fine. We'll let you make it a trilogy. Submit three Vines, each one a single episode of a larger story. Use the Vine's title to identify the episode (1/3, 2/3, 3/3). Each Vine must must still meet the original requirements (beginning, middle, and end, etc.). A winning entry will be the one that uses the three Vines to create a true series, not just tell an 18 second story.

STEP THREE: POST YOUR VINE TO TWITTER

Here’s the deal: If you make our shortlist we’ll want to share your Vine with the world. Posting it to Twitter offers the easiest way for us to embed and promote our shortlisters and recognize your awesome Vines. Not sure how to post your Vine to twitter?  Check out this official list of Twitter's Vine FAQs. Don't forget your hashtags: #6SECFILMS and the category tag of your choice above.

STEP FOUR: FOLLOW US @TribecaFilmFest on Twitter!

This isn’t a ploy to get more followers, we promise. Following us will give us the ability to contact you via Direct Message if your Vine is selected, so it's kind of important. It's also the best way to keep you updated on the contest. Follow us @TribecaFilmFest.

Read the rest of the official rules here.

THE DEADLINE IS 11:59 PM ON 4/7/2013.

Vines submitted after this date will not be eligible. Sorry, we gotta cut it off sometime.

All Vines submitted to Twitter using the relevant hashtags before the deadline of 4/7/2013 will be reviewed by the Tribeca Film Festival programming team. A shortlist of select Vines that meet the creative requirements will be chosen by the programmers and displayed on Tribecafilm.com the week of 4/17/2013. 

Our panel of distinguished judges will deliberate over the shortlist and select a winner in each category. The winners will be announced 4/26/13.

SHORTLIST, WINNERS AND PRIZES

Shortlisted Vines will be recognized and showcased on TribecaFilm.com.

Winners in each category will receive $600 (a hundred bucks for each second). 

Here are the official rules.

ARE YOU INSPIRED YET?

Check out our list of 10 Artist to Follow on Vine, see why Adam Goldberg is being called the king of Vine, check out this Tumblr about cool Vines, and look to the Vine Editor's Picks section on the app on your phone for Vinespiration.

FSR Film School Rejects

Just discovered this website. Went to the about page. Here's the first paragraph:

"Welcome to Film School Rejects, the greatest movie blog that ever was or will be. We are deeply honored that you’ve not only stumbled upon our little corner of The Internet, but that you’ve grown curious enough to come to this very page in search of the who, the what and the why behind one of the web’s finest film blogs."

"...the greatest movie blog that ever was or will be." You had me at the first sentence.

Passerby

From their website:

What is Passerby?
Passerby is a new crowdfunding platform exclusive to independent film. Our platform provides both equity and donation based crowdfunding options, which allows filmmakers to connect with both donors and investors. For filmmakers, we believe this approach allows them to build an audience around their films. For donors, Passerby provides and opportunity for them to be engaged in the process of supporting the filmmaker. For investors, this offers them an opportunity to invest in a unique asset class with tremendous upside potential.

What is the difference between donation and equity?
On the donation based platform, the filmmakers offer you rewards in exchange for your donations and support. The rewards are gift that will typically be directly related to the film you are funding.

The equity platform is currently in development. It will allow the user to actually invest and take a profit interest in the movie. For filmmakers, this will allow them to fund larger movies. For investors, it allows them to be a part of a different type of venture and share in its success. We think that’s pretty exciting.
