I wonder what the next fest will be?

The theme is: you must make a short documentary on sweater vests. It can be about the construction of sweater vests, the place of sweater vests in contemporary fashion, it can be about the inventor of the sweater vest, etc.

If you have to ask... then you just don't get it.

How about poop fest? You would have to have at least one scene with the word poop in it, or a bathroom scene. Better yet, constipation fest.
 
i would really like to see a fest where everyone gets the same script or same story at worst and we get to see a direct comparison of visions
 
I ... Forth.. Fifth.. Third whatever that.

But ite depends what the script would be. If It was somethign where Jesus sits on Big Ben or a Tidal Wave hit Los Angelis, then I don't think it would work. Yet again if it was about one man in a small white room for 5 minutes I don't think it would work.

It would need a bit of clever writing behind it. Something interesting. So for that reason i'm 50/50 about it. But Director & Spoof Fest I've been backing for a while now, again, as well as action. I still havn't finished this film fest yet.
 
I think last time we discussed a similar idea, perhaps just providing a Log Line and everyone makes a film from the same Log Line. I think we'd be surprised at how many different interepretations of the same "concept" there would be, though I'd also be interested to see how many "very similar" ones would come out of it as well.

I think a writer fest, followed by a fest using the winning script could be cool ... except we all know that no one on here could wait that long for the "fest" to begin ... waiting for that script contest to end.

I was talking to Mikko about it yesterday and we both feel that the last several fests have been real "heavy" (drama, spy, horror, etc) ... it might be nice to mix it up a bit and have comedy fest. :grin:

I also like the idea, which I saw someone mention, oif a Twilight Zone Fest. Of course, we can't use "TZ" in the name and we couldn't duplicate serling's monologue ... but films that tell a moral story, without actually telling the story and with a clever twist at the end (like the one where the girl is repulsed by her face and they are doing procedures to "correct" her ... only it turns out she is beautiful (in our terms) and they are all hideous).

Just some thoughts :)

The script would simply have to be dialogue and character driven - not location specific.
And ideally all character names would be unisex.

Yeah, I know - not leaving much for a writer to work with....pretty much leaves them with nothing except for dialogue, conflict, and plot.
:)
 
An open concept would be great. Something like 'Disaster'. Everyone will have there own definition of what a Disaster is.


Or something for the holidays. Christmasfest or Xmasfest for some. Doesn't have to be a happy sort of film. Just has to take place around the holiday.
 
How about Realtime fest?
Or ... OneShotFest?

:)

Basically, instead of genre and style limitations, go with a technical parameter you have to stay within.
 
Realtime fest, I freaking love that. I just know I'd totally rip 24 though.

Though I sense a comedy fest coming along.
