We are pleased to announce that we have received funding for a contest of short comedic films.
The winning films will be featured on the first page of a new web-site launching in mid-June projected to be seen by millions of viewers.
This is a great opportunity for your film to be seen. If your film is chosen, you will be compensated for its exclusive use on this new site*. You will also be eligible for a MyFilmmaker.com production contract.
MyFilmmaker.com will be awarding production contracts valued at $1000 to the most popular filmmakers.
*The top 60 films chosen for the site will receive $25 as compensation for exclusive use of their film for 30 days and non-exclusive after that.
Deadline for submission for the contest is May 15th, but we will be picking winners from qualified entries as we receive them, so the quicker that you submit, the better chance that you have to be picked.
The first 20 winners will be announced on May 1st.

ReplyDeleteHi, i was wondering if this is targeting teenagers, adults, young children ?
also, is there any limits to the video? can it be ANYTHING?
It's for a new site targeting males 18-34.
ReplyDeleteLimits? No nudity.
It has to be good and it has to be funny and it has to be under five minutes (although if it's good and funny you can get away with longer) otherwise no limits.
