A New Kind of Festival.



Sticking to our goals of encouraging independent films we are proud to announce our collaboration with “International Movie Trailer Festival” a first of its kind film festival for movie trailers! We will help independent filmmakers based in India showcase their work internationally.
The idea behind a trailer film festival might seem odd but is actually a very useful tool for promoting independent films.  Our main goal is to help films raise funds! There is a section for trailers of films that are not made yet. This is a great way to raise funds and awareness about a film that you want to produce.
Here’s some detailed information about the festival:

INTERNATIONAL MOVIE TRAILER FESTIVAL
(The first online movie trailer competition)
Everywhere at www.imtf.biz
Now until September 30, 2010
The 1st Annual INTERNATIONAL MOVIE TRAILER FESTIVAL (IMTF) is an online contest that celebrates the art of the movie trailer. Entrants are invited to submit trailers for movies they’ve shot or trailers for movies they dream of making some day. All genres are accepted, including documentaries.
Entries will be shown 24/7 in our virtual theater with an advanced database that allows fans, producers, and exhibitors to find the trailers in a variety of ways.
The top awards—including the Grand Prize of $5,000—will be determined by a jury of industry experts including Scott Rosenfelt, producer of MYSTIC PIZZA. There is a $1000 prize for the best trailer for a movie not yet made as well as $1000 prize for a trailer for a produced movie.
The People’s Choice Award will be made by visitors to the site. There’s a special
 student prize of $500 plus a $500 grant for the student’s school. 

Joining the online community gives access to free resources including video tips from expert filmmakers plus the book “Moviemaking Illustrated.”A Best-of-the-Festival reel will be shown online and at selected festivals.

Fellow independent filmmakers (especially students) make use of this great opportunity and spread the word. Remember, even if your film is not made you can make a short film (in the format of a trailer) and submit it to the film festival. 
Let’s not take trailers for granted. Cutting trailers requires certain kind of skills and it’s a great career option for many. So get creative, click here to submit NOW!
Deadline September 30th, 2010.
Contact us, if you have any further questions.
Good Luck!
