HAHA! Sadly I'm trying to get away from being known for my beautiful behind! Thus why I went with serious film this time around. But it has Rogan type humor in it. Best of luck to everyone!

Rogan
 
alex, children, what aspect of children. Their learning methods, personalities, talents, or all of the above and much more?
 
After giving Alex's idea a little more thought I think it dawned on me. A children's story. Designed for children to help them in some aspect of their little lives. Freiendships, character building, truth, etc.

I could vote for something like that for the next Fest.

Winner would be judged on production not ideas being presented. Or some sort of 30% idea and 70% production.

Yeah, if even in my own mind, this is beginning to take shape.

Mattykins, Yes, except it wouldn't have to be an animation, could be and/or some portion of it could be.

I think Alex has started something, a movement, and she might be the first to say here "I don't want it in your bowels, wayne, but in the DVXUser group as a whole."

Then she may say, I'm trying to put words in her mouth. For which I appologize, SORRY.

I just like the Children's Film idea.
 
Oh I understand that, I would most likely try the animation route myself. I really like the children concept. I think it would really push us to move away from the gun = drama.
 
SilentFest
That would force the filmmakers to tell a story visually (and not rely on dialog).

RoadFest
Road films are usually pretty fun.

I would also agree with ComedyFest.....although everyone should have the option on making their film a comedy or drama or other etc.... And, I think comedy may be the hardest thing to write (well, good comedy).
 
Where I would love to do a comedy, it makes sense that the theme should be open enough for people to do nearly any genre. I think the best way to try and figure out the next fest is to guess when the due date will be. So if January is going to be the the due date then maybe something like "Love" fest for Valentines? Sort of like last year.

Maybe Animal fest? (how hard would it be to do something that includes animals as a major character?)
Who dun it fest? (like the game clue ?)
Sports fest? in honor of the superbowl but it doesn't have to be football.
Music Video fest
Sitcomfest (present a cast of characters that are on going... don't kill them off :) sort of an ode to friends or MASH or Seinfeld.
mocumentry-fest
Reality TV fest
copdrama fest

All and more. Anything but the idiotic stuff out there now, most of which is written with the box office in mind, and kid's brains be damned.

Can you say Disney damage?

I don't know - like how children deal with the death of a pet or loved one. Fear of the first day of school, a comparison between kids who play outdoors and those who never leave their computer cubicle.

A child learning something new, like the bicylce and the drama of success and failure.

Somthing lighthearted, something sad, something only kids do.

As in a prior statement, I'm new at this. I have had an exerience with a children's piece I did in a college Television Production Class a couple of years ago. It was an effort to depict a childs imagination, what did they see or imagine when they (he in this case) played with a superhero toy like Batman or with a toy dinasour?

While I can't say for sure what the child was seeing my depiction of images from an adult perspective was moving to the viewers. It wasn't sciece, it wasn't even done technically correct, but it got a great grade!

A children's film fest could be a rewarding project with tremendous challenges and astonishing satisfaction in the results.

We all have kids, well that maynot be true, but we all have access to children. Both they and we can benefit from such an experience.

I must appologize, if I could write, I could have reduced the above to a couple of sentences.:(
