DigiKichesippi 2011 Launches

We are announcing our first summer contest, and it involves our new sponsor - Kichesippi Brewery.

We are calling it DigiKichesippi 2011 !

We are asking you to make a 30 or 60 second film about Kichesippi Brewery.

Kichesippi will be more than happy to have you visit the facility and talk to them to help give you a better idea of what they do, and how they do it. Just email Paul at:

paul@kbeer.ca

and include "Digikichesippi" in the subject line, or call them at 613 728-7845 or toll free at 1 866 361-4477.

You can also research them by visiting the web-site at www.kbeer.ca

First prize will be $150 in beer products, or an equal value coupon at a local restaurant.

Second prize will be $100 in beer products, or an equal value coupon at a local restaurant.

Third prize will be $50 in beer products, or an equal value coupon at a local restaurant.

Each filmmaker can submit two films, but those who attended the June 21st screening event will be able to enter three films. The films can stand alone, or cover a story arc.

Films will be judged by Kichesippi Breweries. All films that they deem "worthy" will be posted on the Digi60 web-site, and will also play as part of the Digi60 Gala Screenings for our Fall Film Festival

The contest starts June 21, and the deadline is August 20th - thatʼs 60 days.

For this contest, we are pleased to announce an exciting partnership with Cinevate.

All filmmakers who take part in our DigiKichesippi Summer Challenge will be given access to a Cinevate slider. Cinevate will also be including the pieces to allow you to turn this into a vertical slider - so weʼre excited to see what you guys will be able to create with it.

For our summer challenge, filmmakers will be able to book the slider for a 24 hour period.

But if you were a filmmaker at our June 21st Screening event, you will have the option of booking it for two separate 24 hour periods, or one 48 hour period.

We are hoping to have it by the end of this week, and should announce that we will be taking bookings starting next Monday, June 27th.

Bookings will be on a first come, first serve basis.
