Fiction Fest 2011 - Submission Status

i have enjoyed watching the bts videos. What did you guys think about that requirement this time around? On set bts vid...

I liked the BTS overall. I personally liked the technically informational ones (with some wise-assery thrown in).

[AJ Brooks]

BTS requirement was a great idea. It's a fun way to meet the filmmakers and see their craft.

I vote the requirement be taken a step further -- director's/cast/crew commentary, interactive "dvd menu" type games, voice dubs for at least three foreign languages...

[Noel Evans]

Do you mean far more voters than entries?

YES and whats your point? :P

I actually was suprised at the effort of some entries. Really good job by everyone. I think we keep this.

[Jason Ramsey]

I think that's all the films now. Make sure you guys say thanks to Noel and Zak for chipping in and picking up the slack

later,
Jason

I think something you all are forgetting is the economy. A couple of years ago when things were going well here in the States, you saw a lot more entries because people still had good paying day jobs. They could afford tossing out $1k just for catering. Now, our present economy, tossing out money to cater, permits or costumes isn't quite feasible for some.

I think the economy has had a lot to do with the lack of large numbers in this fest. As things go on the upswing I think you will see a return of larger numbers.

Good luck to everyone. Look forward to watching your stuff later tonight. I have to get busy and write articles today.

I can understand that, however I'm so used to using no budget on everything I shoot that I did it here, too.

Educated Mouse Trap: $40 total
Jenny: $0 total

And a huge thank you to all the mods making this possible!

Ditto.

You can make movies on the cheap if you really want to make one. It's really about the experience and fun of creating something.

Thanks to everyone behind the scenes on this Fest. Special shout out to Noel for being quite helpful over the course of it.

Thanks, guys.
