The Bogen Imaging Film and Video Shorts 2006 Contest
Short film and video contest for student and independent filmmakers. Open to all student, aspiring, and independent filmmakers in the US and internationally.
New York, NY, November 15, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Welch Integrated Inc. dba StudentFilmmakers.com announces The Bogen Imaging Film and Video Shorts 2006 Contest - open to all student and independent filmmakers internationally. The film contest starts January 1, 2006, has no entry fee for contestants, and all accepted entries will be shown online at StudentFilmmakers.com. The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2006, and the winners will be announced on April 15, 2006.
Entries will be accepted through the Student Filmmakers website at http://www.studentfilmmakers.com. All film genres are accepted. Films must not exceed a maximum total running time of 5 minutes and must not be larger than 85 megabytes in file size to be considered.
Films will be reviewed by a panel of judges from StudentFilmmakers.com and the film industry including Laszlo Kovacs, ASC. Mr. Kovacs has compiled more than 60 narrative films credits, including Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The King of Marvin Gardens, Paper Moon, Shampoo, New York, New York, What’s Up Doc?, The Last Waltz, The Runner Stumbles, Ghostbusters, Mask, Little Nikita, F.I.S.T and My Best Friend’s Wedding.
Wayne Schulman, Sales Manager of Bogen Imaging's Video Products division said, For me the key reason for creating The Bogen Imaging Film and Video Short 2006 Contest is to help facilitate the sharing of ideas and techniques within the independent and student filmmaker community.
Better quality content creation helps everyone in the business, continued Mr. Schulman. Supporting independent filmmakers helps to keep creative decisions and economic power in the hands of many rather than in the hands of a few powerful media giants. The contest also happens to coincide with the release of a new Formatt Filter DVD that I hope will help people create better video.
