Calling all aspiring directors: Nintendo is hosting a short film contest that will see the winner walking away with $10,000 and a host of Nintendo hardware and software.
The short film submissions must be less than five minutes long and Nintendo-themed in some way. The rest is up to the imagination of the filmmakers, who can explore themes using the new Wii™ home video game system, the hand-held Nintendo DS™ or even classic Nintendo characters and systems. The entries can be comedies or dramas, live action or animated – the options for cinematic creativity are almost endless.
For an official entry form, a list of approved film formats and a list of the contest rules and regulations, visit nintendoshortcuts.com. Filmmakers must be 18 or older. Entries are due on or before June 6. David and Kyle, this has your names written all over it!
Are David and Kyle 18 or older??
Oh, wow. This is what I’ve been waiting for my entire life as a long-time Nintendo freak and budding filmmaker. I’ll begin scripting tonight.
Well, it’s due next month? They sure did give people enough time to prepare huh?
@InvisibleMan
Combined age? Yes.
David, Kyle, You need to collaborate on a project. Make two films, 2min. 30 sec. long and put them together. *Cough* GrindHouse: Double Feature *Cough*
david, lets do lunch.
hehehehe
I’m serious, I think you two should collaborate. Think about it. $10,000. That’s $5,000 If you split it between you guys. Not to mention the other free crap. Just submit it to Infendo so we can get the first look.
Obviously I get a producer’s credit for thinking of this collaboration. That’s 25% off the top and 10% of gross. Thanks!
