2008 dc apa film festival trailer contest

The 9th Annual DC APA Film Festival, coming back this September, has teamed up with Scion Motors again to bring you the 2008 DC APA Film Festival Trailer Contest. They're asking folks to create a thirty second trailer that captures the awesomeness and promotes the 2008 DC APA Film Festival.

You don't have to be a filmmaking professional, or even a film student to submit a trailer. All creative personalities are invited to participate. You just need a camera, some willing friends, and a halfway decent idea. Get it on tape and mail it in by August 20, 2008. The public will vote on the three top finalists.

This year, submissions will be judged by an expert jury panel featuring veteran filmmaker Grace Lee (The Grace Lee Project, American Zombie), producer Karin Chien (The Motel, Robot Stories), and up-and-coming filmmaker Tze Chun (Windowbreaker)—all of whose work have screen at previous DC APA Film Festivals.

The winning trailer will be featured in promotions leading up to the festival as well as during the festival itself. The grand prize winner will also be awarded a $600 cash prize, $200 to the first runner-up. For contest rules and details, go here.
