HOW TO BECOME A STAR DIRECTOR...
ONE OF the great things about this column is that I can use it as overspill... to perhaps help a few people to get a leg up the ladder.
So, if you've ever fancied your chances as a director, here's what to do.
FILMON.COM GIVES BUDDING FILM DIRECTORS THEIR BIG BREAK
Calling all camera phone Spielbergs and Scorseses and digital video camera
Coppolas, Hitchcocks and Tarantinos!
FilmOn.com, the film and TV streaming portal, is offering film fans
all over the UK the chance to take part in a unique scheme designed to give the
next generation of film makers their big break.
The only thing that budding directors have to do is upload a one to five minute video clip on to www.festivaltv.com
"The video can be anything from a film spoof or a funny video moment to a
completely new screenplay idea and entries will be judged on their originality
and creativity so don't worry if you don't have the latest kit," says
FilmOn.com's founder Alki David.
"The winning entry will win a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a film
project funded by FilmOn.com with a red carpet premiere for the finished movie.
"Entering couldn't be simpler - just go to www.festivaltv.com, create a free account and
upload your movie with the words 'Fest Film' and then the title of your film."
"This competition provides a unique opportunity to break into an extremely
competitive industry.
"Participants have until the end of July to upload their entries and we are looking to receive entries from all over the country as we believe there is some great talent out there that needs to be brought to a wider audience."
Good luck and, if you win, don't forget to bang the drum for Brum and for Mega Movies!
