CBC Ottawa Is Looking for Short Films.
This was sent to me via Facebook... thought we'd pass it along.
Dear Filmmaker,
CBC Television is pleased to announce a new program featuring short films from across Canada. Short Film Faceoff has already enjoyed three successful seasons in the Maritimes and is going to be broadcast across the country this summer. The critically acclaimed show is produced in partnership with the Atlantic Film Festival and has brought a new mainstream audience for short films and increased profile for their filmmakers. The CBC is looking for the best short films from every region to take part in this program.
In Short Film Faceoff, films are screened and a panel of industry professionals will provide commentary as well as discuss the creative and technical aspects of the films with the filmmakers.
The series has a competitive component: The studio audience will vote to choose three finalists and the viewing audience will ultimately vote for the top film. The CBC and sponsors will be offering a prize made up of cash and production services to be used by the winning filmmaker towards his or her next film.
Films must be under 12 minutes in length, must have been completed in the past two years, and must not have been broadcast on television. We are looking for comedies and dramas. Music videos and documentaries are not suitable for this program. Directors must be available for tapings at CBC Halifax from May 17 to 19. The program producers will pay all travel and accommodation costs for the production.
If you are interested in entering your film in Short Film Faceoff please send a DVD copy of your film to:
Adele Cardamone-Martel
CBC Television Ottawa
181 Queen Street, Room 207
Ottawa, ON K1P 1K9
Participants must own or control all the rights to the content in the film and be able to sign those rights for broadcast.
