NextFest

how about we make it a documentary about local music bands in our area and we call it OZZFest!
I was just playing, but that turned into a pretty good idea! Then we would be helping local musicians while making a movie.
 
I liked SpyFest because you weren't tied down to a "genre" really, you could do a spying documentary, a comedy, a drama, etc. Hopefully the next fest will have a similar theme in which we can explore different avenues.
 
I think the key reqirement of the next fest should be that it be shot and presented in 9:16.


Yes, like 16:9, but roatated 90*. 9:16

It's all presented digitally on computers, so what does the shape of the frame really matter anyway?

MIkko........ I LIKE THAT.............................

I was planning on shooting some stuff liek that as an experiment...... Thats an awseome idea.
 
Hmm, interesting ideas. I can't say I'm thrilled with the silent fest idea. I agree that spyfest allowed people to put their own spin on it. Not a fan of monster fest, but I did think the fairytale fest was an interesting one. Comedy would be fun too. Its definitely fun to explore the various options/ideas. Keep 'em coming. Oh, I'm always up for a musical......
 
Suggestion:

Animation. In black & white. Silent. With subtitles in any language but English.

Main character must be called "Jarred" (or the non-English equivalent).
 
How about a fest with multiple genres? 3 or 4 maybe? I like having choices...

but...each film in each genre all share a common rule that must be included in the film or one of the guidelines such as a name, object, etc.
 
Mockfest. All shorts must mock either the conventions of Hollywood (The bomb is going to go off in downtown LA in 5 minutes! Not if my split screen with a booming clock has anything to say about it!) or of Indie cinema (being 25 and unemployed and living at home, while working at the local pizzeria and having a crush on the girl who comes in everyday at 4pm while trying to finish my script for a movie about the same thing going on in this one is really hard. It's like an existential quandry).
 
how about an "I failed to finish my DVXuser Fest Entry" fest where everyone does a 6 minute film showing why a filmmaker didn't or couldn't finish their project
 
I really want a HistFest, everything has to be a period film. Any genre, it just must be set in any era from 1970 backwards. So you'd get medieval films, western films, ancient romans, gangster era, civil war, etc. People could make use of the various historical locations they have local to them. We'd really get a sense of the various places that DVXUsers hail from!
