St. Louis, MO — NewGround, a leading international design and implementation firm serving the financial services industry, announced today they are hosting a short film festival contest to showcase aspiring film directors’ views on “This is NewGround”.

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.

This is a personal project that is truly amazing. This film is 100% ‘real’, but there are some new techniques for the author here, such as using time lapse to create the illusion of forward movement for the helicopter ocean scenes. These flight sequences would not be possible without the skill and patience of Chief Pilot Peter Yates. Thanks also to Trevor Cracknell (for getting wet!) and Family.
