And because there was not a submission to the festival, the festival is now canceled.

I hope everyone has a great holiday season!]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 02:03:12 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic698-winter-holiday-film-festival.aspx


The winter holidays are approaching fast and to celebrate this time of family and giving back, TMUTheater is hosting a festival of short films which keep the heart of the holidays in the core of their stories.

This is another great opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their talent in their preferred mediums. Make something funny or tragic, a romance or drama. Just keep the spirit of the holidays in the storyline.

Content Guidelines

* Can be made with any visual medium (i.e. stop-motion, animation, machinima, live-action)
* Story needs to have the holidays associated with it.
* Film needs to be made for the festival. No previously made films at this moment, please.
* 1 entry per person.
* No music videos

Video Guidelines

* Minimum 3 minutes in length
* Prefer 16:9 aspect ratio, squared pixels at a maximum 640 in width resolution. (i.e. 640x360 is a squared 16:9 aspect ratio) 4:3 aspect ratio is acceptable but not recommended.
* Maximum of 600mb in filesize.
