   short film contests., anyone know of one?
  Last year i entered a 64 second film contest sponsored by AMD (promoting their 64-bit dual core processors).Now, receiving a hat and a T-Shirt (didnt even come close to winning), I have an AMD dual-core machine that i love (there's no going back to single core) and an itch to make more film.I know of one, called Depict. but it's based in the UK. i might end up registering with them, but the down side is that i have to physically send a copy of my short film (no more than 90 seconds for Depict) as opposed to uploading my film (as was the case with the AMD 64 second film).this is my hobby, making film, very amateuristic film, mind you.anyhow, does anybody know of any short film contests that's free to participate? thanks all.

Get to it!   ;  We ran one here, last year, at our University. I made one of the videos, and compiled the DVD of all the entries, plus a menu, disclaimer, thanks, etc.It was a lot of fun, got some good entries, and should be an annual tradition from here on, with some minor changes.Anyway, a lot of universities will host these sorts of contests! Might look at some of the ones near you, or just Google for some others.   ;  Tropofest
