THIS JUST IN!

We have the  Top Secret “CATCH” for this year’s DIGI60 Film Festival entries:

DIGI60 is Ottawa’s original Digital Film Festival.  Started in 2004 by Andrew Smith, the festival has been run four times: in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008. DIGI60 challenges Ottawa-area filmmakers to write and shoot a short digital film in 30 days.

And now you know the “catch”… and it changes every Festival.  All filmmakers are all given the same set of parameters for their films and it’s up to them to use their imaginations and creativity to base their films around this “catch”.   Previous catches have included the first and last lines of the film, specific subject matter, and specific locations.  How the filmmaker incorporates the “catch” into their film is entirely up to them.

The deadline for finished films is Monday, October 18, 2010.

The Digi60 Film Festival Gala Screening for top films in each category will be on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at the Richcraft Theatre at the Shenkman Arts Centre, Orleans.

Every single video produced will be presented on the Digi60 website at www.digi60.org
