I NEED YOUR HELP! TropFest 2011

So I found out there's thing called Tropfest in Australia (and other international cities), a contest for filmmakers. For the hell of it I just decided 10 minutes ago to enter this....



Needless to say, while I can take pictures and shoot video, all my videos are based on other people's stories, because let's face it... I don't write. Tried many times. So I want your help...

I am having a contest. Write a short story that includes a key. Can be any kind of key. Can be a small detail or the main focus of the story as long as the story is short. the video cannot be longer then SEVEN minutes.

In addition to me filming your story for this entry, I will send you prints galore from the shooting and have your name all nice and shiny big in the credits. And probably other goodness I'll think of later.

This is a challenge for me since I haven't really done anything like this but figured it would be fun. So I can't do it without you! Let's make something awesome together!

Entries for the contest end December 20th.

  1. Vania,
    I have an idea but it involves traveling to Spain in order to shoot a short video in Toledo. Is it OK?

  2. Does the setting matter?
    Or just has to be descriptive enough to work with something.

  3. highBg- perhaps maybe something that isn't exotic that I can shoot in my city. Though I'd love a good excuse to visit Spain.

    Libby- Setting doesn't matter as long as I can shoot it around me somewhere.

  4. AMAZING. If I wasn't backed up with 2 deadlines I would submit. Too bad they don't take projects not initially meant for Tropfest [as long as it hasn't been revealed anywhere else, b/c I have 3 scripts that are around 7 minutes. I would just have to revamp to add a key. Too bad. I definitely want to consider this though, maybe....I would love... to go to Australia.

  5. This is a really intriguing idea. Do we need to write a script, or can it literally just be a short story?
