The Collaboration Filmmaking
Challenge starts May 24. Join up now!

Details: 

The $5000 top prize is awarded to the
team who creates the CFC’s top film, as awarded by the jury panel
at our festival screening at the beautiful Harmony
Gold Theatre in Hollywood.  We’ll be bringing in
some of Hollywood’s brightest creative minds, such
as Tim Minear (Firefly, Wonderfalls,
The Inside) and Kurt Loder to
watch and review our participants’ submissions! The audience will
also select its favorite film, whose creators will be awarded
a $1500 prize!

The third prize is our $1500 Key
Collaborator Award, an individual award given out to the
person who contributes most to the efforts of his/her fellow
filmmakers. That’s right: you could
win $1500 by helping someone
else win the contest. What makes the CFC a truly unique
experience is that it goes beyond simple competition. As the name
suggests, this challenge is about bringing filmmakers together to
transform one person’s vision into a masterpiece through powerful
creative partnerships.

So how does it work? At the beginning of the contest, the CFC
will announce the filmmaking theme, which all filmmakers will
express through their films. This year we’ve been inspired by the
brilliant P.J. O’Rourke, but that’s all we
can tell you for now…

The contest runs for two weeks, with all participants working in
randomly assigned teams of two: one filmmaker and one
collaborator.

Who is this challenge for? It’s for anyone! Industry pros,
student filmmakers, amateur enthusiasts—all are welcome. The beauty
of this experience is that you’ll be working alongside many other
people with a similar passion for filmmaking,
and anyone could win.

What’s the catch? One, you’ve got to submit
an application and $35 registration fee. Two,
you must be able to commit to BOTH
weeks of filmmaking. Participants must complete both
weeks of filmmaking to qualify.

You must register before the mandatory
orientation on Thursday, May 24. The filmmaking dates are
5/30-6/12, and the screening will take place on Friday, June
22^nd.
