NextFest

holy mackerel. i wasn't thinking silent but I did think of doing a B+W piece.... but I guess just being B+W could be applied to any genre if it had sound and pretty much everything else.
 
B&W, Silent? don't those films exist because that was what the technology offered back then? No interest if that is where you guys want to go. Although I guess I have an idea for a train robbery with dialogue cards. 12 frames per second should work nicely.
 
I really wouldn't be interested in a COMPLETELY silent fest. MAYBE one with no voiceover or dialog — only SFX and score. Although for any fest there could be a no voiceover rule — force everyone to get better at writing and shooting dialog. If you use VO you get disqualified.

Some other ideas for fests:

MonsterFest — Not aliens, monsters. I think to do this one properly we would need a little more time to make our monsters believable.

NightFest — Everything shot at night. Seriously. That would be cool.

DeathFest — Storylines dealing with death. Anyway you want. Could be murder, could be drama, etc.

SuspenseFest — Or thriller fest.

ShyamalanFest — Twist ending.

FairyTaleFest —*This could actually be fun. Like fantasy, but not SciFi. There are a lot of rules that go along with a fairy tale. Having to do something 3 times — 3 tests, 3 doors, etc. It could get really detailed but open within that.

Anyway, just trying to throw some ideas out there. We (me and Anthem78) really want to do something this time around. We haven't entered since Anonymous in HeroFest. We were going to do DramaFest, but didn't make the deadline. So now we're anxious.

I really like the MonsterFest and FairyTaleFest. I don't think DeathFest would be a good idea because that is basically what DramaFest turned into.
 
How about one-location fest? Everything must take place at a single location (ie: a room, under a tree, in the water, etc). Oh, and with clowns :)
 
actually i think youre an 8 year old in your Avatar..... i looked again and they are kids. you were right.
 
Here's my pitch... shorts must be centered around a theme of sleep or sleeping, or dreams, or insomnia.... and we'll call it SNOOZEFEST!!!!
