NextFest

Some of my ideas for NextFest:
*not in any order*

1) LaughFest (Comedy)
2) SportsFest
3) SilentFest *how we could test our story telling abilities without saying a word)
4) MusicFest (Musical) *sorry i just watch On The Lot and they had a guy do a 3 min musical, and it turned out pretty good
5) MockorDockFest

anyways i'll be back to check the forums i need to do work

Any short film that works as a story in under 1 or 2 minutes usually feels like a commercial. It will have that smug twist or funny point that is present in all clever commercials...and that cleverness pisses me off. It seems like the shorter it gets the more contrived it feels and there is no space for naturalness.

just wanted to second my earlier suggestion... a fest of films about sleep or sleeping, dreams, insomnia, etc... we'll call it SNOOZEFEST. it can't lose.
 
Ok, we've got the next DVXFest dialed in and I think you guys are going to like it. Something new and a little different from what we normally do, but with a lot of room for creative flexibility. TalkingDogFest! Ok, that's not it, but you can easily work in a talking dog on the next fest and that's all that really matters. Right? We should have the announcement up shortly after the close of SpyFest.
 
There might've been a time when Action and Comedy would've drawn a "err.. please, no..." response. But, after DramaFest and the slew of worthwhile shorts I'd be up for watching some of you tackle Comedy, for sure.

DramaFest, to me, had the best entries of all the fests. Something like a Comedy genre could be good.
