DVXFest - Scare FEST - OFFICIAL RULES

I am new here so this might be a dumb question. Once my short is completely finished, how do I get the dvx logo, and how do I actually enter it as a contestant?
 
for the available leaders, you can find them here:
dvxfest.com/leaders

Check back there as we will be adding some more.

Upload details will come closer to the deadline. But, we will post a link for you some time before the deadline. It will be an upload page. A place for you to enter your information as well as upload any files associated with your entry (your film, poster if you have one, etc). By uploading the film, you are "entered" in the festival.
 
An R rating in the US is different than it is here. I'm guess no pornographic scenes, No children (sex, torture or murder), No brutal rape, no below the belt close ups... (none of which I would use) Can violence go to far? Is playing not sexually with a "corpse" ok?
 
it's a pretty loose R in most situations. no penetration, hardcore, etc... that kind of stuff..

someone messing with a corpse would be fine in the context you put it. If you aren't sure, feel free to pm your exact question to one of us, and we'll be happy to give you a more definitive answer. Someone sodomizing a corpse (though nasty) could even potentially be acceptable... unless you turned it into a necro-porn... Definitely, if you are UNSURE, ASK FIRST.

full frontal... could be ok... best to ask first.

we are all creative types, and we try to give as much freedom within the legal realm as possible when it comes to the fests for people to express themselves. But, if we think you are just trying to be an asshole, or gratuitous for the sake of gratuity, or not making a genuine entry into the fest... and, you haven't communicated with us.... that's where you will likely start to run into problems.
 
will announce later... but we have some regular donors to the fest that should be giving for this one as well... including (but not limited to) kessler crane, cpm film tools, dvestore... some others... check the previous fests prize lists for an idea... could be anywhere from 5k to 25k worth going off of past fests.

other than that... (cheese moment) the reward is engaging in the creative process with your peers from start to finish. getting feedback from your peers and an anonymous audience on your work. learning. teaching. Actually, getting up and making a film, rather than talking about cameras or making movies all of the time :)
 
You should ask Red to sponsor a few prizes. Obviously not a camera, that'd be too much, maybe a gift cert or something. Could inspire a bunch of people from Reduser to come on over and enter.
 
I'll ask the stupid question of the day: we upload our entry in the "scare room" sub forum, in an individual thread based on our entry? Do I get it right?
I might be interested to work on something, I'd just want to do it right. Thanks.
 
Hey, drapeama...

Scare Room is where you start your individual film thread, that is correct. Closer to the deadline, there will be a new thread created that will have a link to the upload page that you will use to upload your film.

Later,
Jasn

Thanks for the infos M. Ramsey!
I'll see if I can do/work on something by the deadline.
 
Just to clarify. There is no cost for entering? Also, is there any date that i must commit by? Also, the line that must be used is any of the 3 from the first post (the pdf only says "Halloween Sucks".)

Thanks.
 
Joe.

Yes. it is free to enter. no cost to you. the only date you need to know is the upload deadline. if you want to enter, just make sure you have your film in by the deadline, and you are entered. You don't have to formally announce or enter prior to that if you don't want to.

any of the 3 from the first post. that is correct. I forgot to update the pdf. thank you for reminding me.
