Your Film Festival is the latest collaboration from Youtube and Scott Free (the film and TV production company formed by brothers Ridley and Tony Scott), following their critically acclaimed documentary Life In A Day.
This time around, they invite content creators worldwide to submit their best 15 minute short stories, in any genre or style, and of any format ? short film, web-series episode, TV pilot or other video pieces. The competition is free to enter, and will offer the storytellers a chance to reach a wider audience and ultimately, win a life-changing prize; a $500,000 production grant, plus a development deal with Scott Free Productions.
?Short filmmaking is exactly where I started my career 50 years ago, so to be helping new filmmakers find an entry point like this into the industry is fantastic,? says Ridley Scott. ?It?s great to be partnering with YouTube again for this global search for the next generation of exciting filmmakers.?
Submissions are judged by Scott Free and thinned down to 50 semi-finalists, after which the public voting opens, further whittling the pile down to ten finalists. Those finalists then have the luxury and prestige of traveling to Italy to watch their work being screened at the 69th Venice International Film Festival in August. Following that, a special film industry jury will name the grand prize winner.
You have until March 31st to submit your video, so we encourage all Media Match filmmakers, producers, directors and motion graphic artists to get involved and give it a shot! Feel free to post your entries below and we will check them out and vote for who we like too!
Good Luck!
