A message to my filmmaking friends -

I've been involved with the Cincinnati Fringe Festival's 'Film Fringe' component (I'm the producer/curator/poobah) and would love for you to consider submitting something you've created recently. The film screenings will be mixed in with the Fringe Festival's live theatre this year, hopefully creating a more organic, holistic artistic experience. Plus it just sounds like a bunch of fun to have live theatre, art and film all mashed up together.

The submission deadline is Jan 15, but I expect that to be lengthened by one week. So think about submitting that (short) cool-but-kind-of-strange video, Hollywood-ish sellout flick, or personal cinematic masterpiece. I look forward to seeing your entries on the Fringe!

Call for Entries: Cincinnati Film Fringe Festival
 
Cincinnati Film Fringe, part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, is a showcase of short digital cinema that celebrates the edge of entertainment. We are looking for films less than 30 minutes in length, but will consider projects up to one hour in length. Films may be experimental or more traditional. They can span any genre. They need not premiere at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, but premieres are always welcome. Documentaries are welcome and encouraged. Basically, we're looking for quality, unusual digital cinema to augment our live performance and visual fringe (art) offerings.
 
Selection of Projects:
 
The Film Fringe Selection Committee selects projects based on the following criteria:
 
* Social, aesthetic and creative content of the project.
* Ability to screen work that would traditionally not be seen in this region presented in an innovative style.
* Ability to properly fill out the application and have less than 3 spelling and grammar errors.
* Ability to provide significant bribes to the Selection Committee, Producing Director, and/or organizers. (Cash is not the only bribe that will be accepted...think vacations, computers, Wii consoles and games, and in some cases - just compliments). This part is just a joke. Not really.
 
We encourage submitting works that demonstrate the avant-garde spirit of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival. Preference will be given to works that would not/have not normally been screened in the Greater Cincinnati Region. The Selection Committee will review all project applications, select appropriate projects and determine screening order. The filmmakers selected retain full artistic license and freedom for their work.

Hope to see your film on the Fringe.
