coming soon :)
These will be ongoing minifests. shorter turnaround, shorter everything. Just more opportunities for you guys to get up and put your skills to the test.
we'll soon have things that would be specialized... perhaps a sound design fest, edit fest, etc, etc, etc...
anyone who is interested in helping out with any of the minifests can email me at advertising at dvxuser dot com.
Stay tuned. Luis'll be launching DocFest soon.
Later,
Jason

I think Luis' is planning on launching this right after twilight fest draws to a close. We'll all be swamped during twilight fest, so we'll get some of these new minifests rolling in a couple of weeks.
Later,

I am already working on my opening dialog:
Wookiees are a race of hirsute bipeds in the Star Wars universe. [Show stock footage] The most notable Wookiee is Chewbacca, a companion to Han Solo. But there is another one of these strange creatures making waves in a popular online film making forum. [Picture of Luis]
Host walks into frame
Over the course of this short documentary we will explore who Luis is, what he is and how he made it to where he is now. I'm Morgan Freeman and this is: Wookiee with an HVX: The Life of Luis The Mod.

Will somebody please give Nick his Ritalin?
This should be interesting. Can't wait to see what they throw at us.

Maybe at some point DVXuser can do a Children's fest. Kids seem to be the one 'thing' that terrifies filmmakers the most.
And, the real motivation behind this is that I'm so sick of the goo-goo ga-ga films out there for and about children. I'd love to see what the brilliant minds at DVX could do with this.
Just a thought.

I would have to say as a soon-to-be father, this appeals to me. I think my writing has shifted more and more towards the idea that "my children will someday see this" mode.

Details? Details?
Seriously considering doing a documentary starting shooting right at the beginning of the year and I'd love to know some details.

it's not that we're scared of working with children, it's that logistically speaking, it's harder to get a good solid performance out of a child, especially when you're on a limited budget and schedule. Plus labor laws don't help either. With a child you're also dealing with helicopter parents in most cases (hovering).
children's fest would find alot of us being unable to compete, or even finish a film.

We had a young girl in our fest entry and it was her first time in a roll for a movie. She was a great kid yet it was somewhat challenging to communicate what I needed her to do simply because she did not have the experience that the older actors had. But her father was on set and he was able to assist in that communication which ended up working out in the end.
I think Alex suggested a children's movie could be either FOR or ABOUT children so you could do something like a PeeWee Herman or Teletubbies style short which could get pretty tripped out and not even use real kids. :)
