Seattle's Blue Scholars, of my favorite hip hop acts, is calling on all you audio/visual wizards to enter the Cinemetropolis Short Film Contest.
Using the music from their latest album Cinemetroplis (which, by the way, is amazing), create a short film under five minutes in length. When all is said and done, you could win a thousand bucks.
Here's a brief video with Geo and Sabzi announcing the contest:
And here are some more details:
Cinemetropolis is a soundtrack. We want you to make a movie with it.You've got until April 6 to come up with your short film masterpiece. For further information, go to the Blue Scholars website here. And man, if you haven't picked up Cinemetroplis yet, sample some tracks and download the damn album here. Or there's the strong possibility we can't be friends.
Use the music of Cinemetropolis to create a video/short film under 5 minutes in length. Choose any track you want. Do whatever it inspires you to do.
Upload your entry via YouTube and e-mail the link to your entry to cinemetropolis@bluescholars.com.
Deadline is MIDNIGHT APRIL 6, 2012.
The top three submissions will be screened at The Capitol Theater in Olympia on April 14 and will be hosted on our web channel. The one that gets the most likes/views by May 1st will receive $1,000US.
GOOD LUCK.
