NextFest

French-New-Wave Fest.

Shaky handheld camera work, egregious jump cuts and lots and lots and lots of smoking.
 
Wow... after reading some of these threads, maybe the next fest should be Bashfest... you know, make the best film you can and have other people tear it apart and insult your filmmaking abilities... :huh:
 
In all seriousness, though its been mentioned several times already, I think a "SmallFest" (or whatever you want to call it) where the genre/theme is wide open. The only stipulation...the film MUST be under 2:00.

How about "OnTheLotFest" ... where you make films you would be embarrased to show your own mother, then pass them off as the next best Hollywood blockbuster :evil:

Then halfway through the fest the mods will change the rules and format. It'll make for killer tv!

You might be on to something there, Larry... we could have Michael Bay be one of the guest judges. His one suggestion will be "Work on the photography."

And for a special rule, just make people think that it was done within the filming dates... it doesn't really have to be, but how would people really know? :Drogar-Evil(DBG):
 
Dogma 95 Fest.
- Available Light. (or faked available light)
- No guns.
- No implausible plot twists.
- No VFX.

You are allowed to break some of the rules, just like the real dogma filmmakers. Though maybe we should stick to "no guns". Don't get me wrong -- I love em. No problem with lots of guns in spyfest ... none. Just think we can all grow if we force ourselves to work without or usual crutches.

Naturalistic Story, Acting and Camera only.

Can you make a thoroughly engaging and taught movie with just those elements?

Just throwin' it out there.

...
After that I would suggest James Bond Fan Film Fest :evil:
 
YouDon'tKnowJackFest... there's one requirement... all films must star Jack Daniel Stanley... :beer:

Or TomFest... all films must star yours truly... :)
 
Man I dunno he seems pron to spankin it.... and i just do the girl girl thing... Those possibilities are making me wanna shove a sewing needle through my temple... :beer:

Dogma 95 Fest.

Y'know, people ragged on the Dogme "manifesto" but the way I look at it, it strips away all "crutches" and puts you in such a circumstance that hey, if you can make a GOOD film under those restrictions, then that's something to be proud of.

Hard to believe it's 12 years old now.
 
I like Jack's idea. Or at least the "no guns" rule, no matter what genre. You walk funny when your crutch is bigger than your body.
 
I would hate to ban guns from almost-anything-else fest though.

If it's a dogma kind of thing where the whole idea is EXTREME LIMITATION, then yeah.

But I would hate to tell people they couldn't use guns in almost anything else especially since they are so germane to so many of the genre's we seem to love around here.

And some of us are never happier than when compositing muzzle flares over stolen shots.
