ATTENTION ALL YOUNG FILMMAKERS AND ACTORS:

Join us for the 3rd Youth Fly Filmmaking Experience, a partnership between the Seattle International Film Festival and Longhouse Media's NATIVE LENS program.

What is Fly Filmmaking? An extremely artistic, creative, and stimulating form of filmmaking in which local filmmakers and actors are able to showcase their skills, collaborate with other artists, and premier their work at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF)! Based on the incredibly short duration of time allotted to the filmmakers and actors, this process can be referred to as "on the fly," hence the name: Fly Filmmaking.

When: June 5th - 7th, 2008, SIFF Premiere on Saturday June 7th @ 4:00 p.m.

Where: At a Pacific Northwest Reservation and in Seattle, WA on Capital Hill

If chosen to participate you will:
* Work with 50 other youth filmmakers and actors for 36 hours to plan shoot and edit a short film.
* Screen your finished film at Future Wave, SIFF's premier youth film festival.
* Meet local and national adult filmmakers, actors, guest artists, and storytellers.
* Learn about the culture of a local tribe and participate in some Pacific Northwest Native American feasting.
* Meet a lot of interesting people, make friends from across the country, and make movies!
* Some travel grants are available
