It’s easy to participate. Anyone can submit an entry…employees, vendors, clients, family members, the general public, etc. The top five short films will be selected and viewed before a live audience on May 6, 2009 at Chesterfield’s YMCA Community Theatre. And the best part, contest winners will be awarded a Director’s salary of $1,000 (this salary is for the director and team/cast). Second and third places will be awarded an aspiring Director’s salary of $500 and $250. All contest entries will be available for everyone to view on YouTube.com.

If you think you have what it takes to be the next Martin Scorsese, or you secretly aspire to be like Stephen Spielberg, then let NewGround’s 2009 Short Film Festival be your big break. Gather your crew, bring out the story-boards, and start filming!

Sample One

Sample Two

folder2dot.dmg – Get the script application that will make the .DOT file for either OmniGraffle or GraphViz 1.13 v16
