It's gonna be Quest IMO. I have sctipt ready to go that fits either one.

I'm stepping way out of my comfort zone for the next fest. No guns, no cursing, and no blood. For at least one of my films anyway. : )
 
I've always thought the best stories are adventures, even if only domestic or suburban. I say go quest fest. If we do crime fest I worry that a lot of bad movies will be made. I think many will try to do some sort of story involving cops, detectives, FBI, etc., which is REALLY hard to pull off well and is often executed VERY poorly. Purely an opinion of course.

Also I think that quest as apposed to crime has a more open and free feel to it as a genre. I think LossFest was spectacular because it was so open.
 
I like the idea of quest fest. Not like I will ever get around to enter one of these...tear. I think Quest fests leaves the door open for a lot of deeply personal films, which I think will result in some really good films.

my 2 cents

Crime in my opinion kind of average, or should I say saturated, Quest sound like it will be more of a chanllenge.

I would agree to disagree, I think crime is harder to pull off on a low budget without being able to properly control all of your environments if you venture out to locations. Quest can pass off a lack of civilians just in genre alone. I actually really like both ideas and I think that I would always seek out a way to make it challenging. Even if it were singletake-guy sitting in chair-no dialogue-no soundtrack-no principal or camera movement-fest. When are we supposed to find out what the next fest is?
 
You guys don't have to worry about debating the merits or not of each one :) We've already thoroughly exhausted all of that behind the scenes.

this poll is just another piece of data for us to help weigh a decision. Just one piece of the puzzle.

:)

For what it's worth I was blown away by the variations on the LossFest theme. I thought it would all be weepy depressing movies, but everyone did a great job of making the film they wanted to while adhering to the rules. It's certainly inspired me to up my game the next time I enter a DVXFest. It feels to me like the community rounded a corner with the whole fest theme thing.
 
QuestFest for me. I love adventure type. It would be pretty tough but fun in the same way because there are so many ways to pull of a nice quest. Yea, crime can be the same way, but I see quest for fun and interesting. Specially seeing what the other films will be about. I've already got a few ideas digging through my mind.

QUESTFEST!
 
QuestFest seems very interesting to me. The theme lets space for lots of different ideas. My first thought was the phantasy genre like 'Lord of the rings'. :thumbup:

I prefer QuestFest. CrimeFest would lead to too many CSI-like shorts. QuestFest might encourage outside-the-box thinking.

On the other hand, I think those that want to do outside-the-box shorts will do so regardless of the genre.
