Is it limited to one video entry per member?

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Are there any prizes for 2nd and 3rd place?
 
Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Great to see some enthusiasm, but it's only one entry per person. At this point, just a first place prize, but that might change. I'm lining up some sponsors at the moment.

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

hmm... are there any DVX's in the DC rental market?

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Hello folks,

This is my first email since I arrived in Angola. Men, this place sucks big time.
The internet is as lazy as the inhabitants.

Anyway, it is good to know that you guys are organizing a DVX festival.

Barry, what are the rules for foreign films?

Do we have to provide the films in english only? Is the fest only to guys in the US?

Do let us know, please!

All the best

Fidel.

Fidel--hey man take care of yourself in Angola. As for the contest, the DVX knows no borders. If you want to post a film in err... Angolese, that would be fine. The contest is open to anyone shooting with a DVX.

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

I'm going to go ahead and field that one for Barry.

Ahem.

No.

Bluespider--nothing I've seen from you has any adult content. ;D

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Hey dudes,

I finally found a fast internet cafe. Man, I couldn´t do much on the others.

Barry, the language we speak here is Portuguese. I have just sent my film to the first film festival here in Angola. They are going to contact me to let me know if the film was accepted or not.

Well, I will try to host my film then. Need to start working on the subtitles.

Anyway, thanks for the support guys.

All the best

Fidel.

PS: I am having a really good time. I am nearly everyday in the beach because it is really hot. I guess I now understand why Californians are famous for being lazy. :D

And the really good thing about here is that I don´t have to spend any money. I have spent 150 dolars in two and a half weeks. Can you imagine this? It´s not that it is cheap over here, but no one lets me pay for anything. How wonderful.
 
Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

But seriously, folks. What constitutes "adult content"?

Is full backal nudity ok? Like whatshisface in Lethal Weapon.

It won't be my butt, I promise.

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Is this a hypothetical question or do you have something specific in mind? The submissions should be tastefully done and any questionable films are subject to approval by the moderators and Jarred.

Something specific. In the real world, I doubt if if would get more than a PG rating. Probably not even a PG-13.

Nothing I wouldn't want my Mother to see.

So, I'm just checking.

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Dan--in that case, I wouldn't worry. Just to let everyone know, I'll be pre-screening the entries to make sure they meet the entry requirements. If a film has any questionable content, then it'll get some further mod/Jarred screening.

Re: DVXFEST DECEMBER SHORT FILM CONTEST

Thanks.

Now I just have to track down my crew.

NEVER decide to make a flick during Skiing season. ;D

Re: DVXFEST 2005 MONTHLY SHORT FILM CONTEST

Barry,

Not to be an interloper, but could there be a category for us XL2 users? I'm probably the only one on this board that does not own a DVX but I'd still love to participate in the future. Maybe allow the submission, with no prize winning ability, or just an honorary mention?

Matt

Ps. Looking at some of the films that made the festival circuit this year, at what point does "adult film" become "art film"? I'm just curious, my mom will watch anything...
 
Re: DVXFEST 2005 MONTHLY SHORT FILM CONTEST

Matt!
You can't play.
You don't have a DVX.
Deal with it.
Life isn't fair.
