Call for Entries: DC Shorts Film Festival and Screenplay Competition

[DC Shorts]

The DC Shorts Film Festival and Screenplay Competitions are accepting
entries for the 2010 events!
http://dcshorts.com

DC Shorts gives all entries feedback from the judging panels — a point
which impressed MovieMaker Magazine to name us as “one of 20 festivals
worth an entry fee” -- two years in a row -- and “one of the leading
film festivals” in the country. DC Shorts was also chosen by the
readers of the Washington City Paper as the area's best festival.

In 2009, DC Shorts reviewed more than 750 films and 85 scripts from
around the globe. We selected 100 short films for screenings in 9
unique showcases during the competition weekend. We also read 6
scripts in a special live presentation. Since a major focus of DC
Shorts is the inclusion of filmmakers, many of the films and all of
the scripts were represented by the more than 108 filmmakers and
writers from 8 countries. More than 4,900 people attended the
screenings.

THE DC SHORTS FILM FESTIVAL (September 9-16, 2010) turns the spotlight
on truly independent short films, created by new and established
filmmakers in an era when the art of filmmaking is opening to all. We
select films of every genre and niche for our competition screenings -
with a special focus on films created by metropolitan Washington,
DC-based directors and writers. After each screening, filmmakers have
the opportunity to speak to the audience as part of a moderated panel.
Cash prizes and all entries receive judges' feedback!

THE DC SHORTS SCREENPLAY COMPETITION (October 2010) is a very
different kind of screenwriting competition. A panel of judges
consisting of filmmakers, screenwriters and critics will review and
provide coverage (feedback) for scripts of 15 pages or less. 5 - 7
finalists will be featured during ScriptDC - a weekend of
screenwriting events for DC regional writer and filmmakers, where
their scripts will be read in front of a live audience - and one will
walk away with $2,000 to shoot their project! All entries receive the
judges' feedback! http://dcshorts.com/script
