NextFest

this is another *ambitious* idea that would raise issues of ownership, but how about FeatureFest -- where entries conform to a centralized concept (like "an alien invasion" or "falling in/out of love") while being structured with discernable "act breaks", and the winner gets to take all the films and cut them in parallel into a feature length film. i'm thinking something like "short cuts" (minus the sharing of characters) where various short stories interweave and are linked thematically. could be an interesting experiment. six minutes each probably won't provide enough material for the feature cut though. anyway, just throwing out more random ideas...
 
Ditto on the zombie/horror.

How about...

Splatter Fest!!! All films required to be UNDER 6 minutes, but must use OVER 6 gallons of blood.
 
How about a MimeFest? Anything goes, except:

1) 3 minutes or less.
2) At least one scene featuring a mime (think Blow-Up).
 
I agree on fitting a horror/thriller/something for Halloween fest in so that the DVD can be out for Halloween.

I love Halloween!!!
