Calling all filmmakers! There’s still time to enter the Monster Children Film Awards presented by Lake Wānaka Tourism. Did we mention there’s $30,000 (NZD) in prizes up for grabs?
This year’s theme is Regeneration.
There are no limits to the interpretation of this theme, it could be a documentary, an interview, or something entirely abstract and artsy.
The most important thing is that the film interprets the themes of the importance of Regeneration and is at least 30 seconds long, but no longer than 10 minutes.
Entry is free and all of the submitted films get exposure to a considerable audience via the Monster Children website.
A short list of ten films will be selected and then be judged by a once again stellar panel of industry guest judges; Malia James, Peter Burger and Clare Plueckhahn, representing all parts of the globe and a wide range of genres.
Five finalists will then be tasked to submit a treatment of a film they would like to make in Wānaka around the theme of Regeneration. The best treatment will be crowned this year’s Monster Children Short Film Awards winner.
The winner will receive a $10,000 (NZD) cash prize, Sony hardware equipment worth $10,000, an all-expenses-paid trip to Wānaka, New Zealand, plus production costs to co-direct their short film idea with Monster Children Films, and the local film industry.
The four runners-up will receive $1,000 in cash and a $500 Sony voucher for submitting their treatment ideas.
But hurry! Entires close May 14 11:59PM AEST.
