Zombies invade Roncesvalles
September 18, 2009
I got a call today from a friend of mine who told me about an upcoming event at the Revue Cinema in Toronto where he is on the board of directors… I have a lot of respect for the folks running the Revue, as they are really encouraging local independent filmmakers with their Drop Your Shorts series of screenings and, now, hosting the Zombie Short Film Festival on October 30th.
From the festival FAQ:
What are the criteria for submissions?
Your film must be shorter than 25 minutes long. It also has to involve zombies in some way.
I have a terrific zombie film, but it’s longer than 25 minutes. Can I enter it anyway?
Sorry…but we need to be firm on the running time, in order to accommodate the viewing needs of our jury and the logistics of the official screening. You are welcome, however, to split the film into shorter segments and enter them as separate submissions, if you wish.
What format should my submission be?
Please submit a DVD in NTSC format, so that it will be playable on a North American DVD player.
When is the submission deadline?
Midnight. October 1, 2009.
Submissions can be from anywhere (not just Canada).
…I’ll bet my friend Craig wishes he’d gone ahead with that zombie-LDS missionary film he’s been pondering for years. Perfect venue for it.
