Sylvania Community Arts Commission Accepting Tree City Film Festival Registrations
Sylvania, OH, January 11, 2016 — The Sylvania Community Arts Commission is happy to announce that registration for participation in the 2016 Tree City Film Festival is now open. We invite you to sign up today for the 50-hour film challenge or register a student to participate in the 3rd annual Shorties U Film Workshop. The TCFF’s 50 Hour Film Challenge is a fun weekend event that invites teams of filmmakers to write, shoot, edit and publish their own short films in just 50 hours. At the beginning of the event, each team receives a series of elements that must be incorporated into their film – things like a particular genre, prop and shooting location. After the 50 hours are over and the films are accepted, they are juried by a guest panel of judges that are currently working in the film industry today. Winning films are premiered at the festival. Registration is $45 per team ($35 for student teams) and the deadline for applications is March 1, 2016. The challenge weekend is March 18th – 20th. To enter the Tree City Film Festival’s 50 hour challenge, please fill out the electronic application form 50-HOUR CHALLENGE APPLICATION FORM. • Hear about two filmmakers’ experience during the 50-Hour Challenge in 2014. • See all of the 2015 submissions. To support the youth filmmakers, Shorties U is back again. Students in 5th through 8th grade can participate in this 4 day workshop held at Northview High School. The Shorties U is held on four Saturdays – February 21st - March 14th. Led by area experts, this experience takes students through the steps of how to create their own short films – including how to develop an idea, writing a script, shooting on a budget, and the fundamentals of editing. Registration is $65 and is due by February 5th.
