...lol.

mine would win.
 
How about "Epic Fest". Must choose a widescreen format of 2.35:1 or wider and it gets to be, I mean has to be, EIGHT MINUTES instead of six.


(Yes, I'm middle of "chop the mutha" hell too.)

I was thinkin of doin something like that for the heck of it since I already have the footage... And compare the good stuff to the bad stuff that was shot... But the bad stuff is so bad it's not submit material haha...

Second that,

I think an epic fest could bring a lot of oppurtunities. Also people are so drummed into films being 6 minutes dead on, i doubt it would change, but it would be nice to see how people would respond to different parameters.
 
I vote for Hitchhiker fest. I've been thinking of a short with a hitchhiker and it would be great if it fit in the next fest.
 
Hitchhikingfest it is. So says I. You have to have a main character named Hortence or Osvaldo. There project must be in 9X16, in a foreign language or silent with subtitles that aren't in English. All projects must be shot on a Krasnogorsk-3, edited on a Steenbeck and mastered on a 35mm anamorphic print (sideways to make it 9X16, of course) The project must be completed by June 2, 2007, so you better get hustling brostein.

DISCLAIMER - The above is not a sanctioned DVXuser fest. If you indeed shoot this you will receive nothing. Just mad props and a puzzeled look from all the people who will hear your tale of this insane project.
 
Roadtrip fest could be interesting given the summer time.

But then I feel roadtrip movie are getting so played out.

SO then I feel it'd be interesting to see how people could get creative with such a saturated genre.

Rambling finished.
 
Documentaryfest?

I was going to suggest SnuffFest, but for some reason none of the actors I know want to get involved.
 
How about 2minuteOrLessfest. Any genre it just has to be short. It's easier to tell a story if you have lots of time. So I say constrain the time you have to tell it.

I was thinking the same thing, but I wonder if 6 minutes would be enough, and if there would be enough variety in choice of topic. Depending on topic choices, it could also cause quite a bit of turmoil (in terms of stance on issues, namely serious issues) amongst the site members.

Could make things interesting though...

P L E A S E. I've been asking for this since the first festival... :)
 
what!?!?! only 2880 frames to work with? IM IN, Make it so, Barry.

hmm ... barely over 5 pages = 9 min for refill ...

Anything over a few sentences and I'm going to blow right past that 2 min mark.

Might also be easier for people to have multiple entries and much less strenuous to watch alot of 2 min films. But on the flip side, sometimes it's hard to get a coherent story in 6 min.
