Following the success of the inaugural box[ur]shorts™ Film Festival, the festival today announces $5,000 of new awards and prizes offered to winners of the 2007 event. Filmmakers can enter their shorts online with a rolling deadline. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in January 2008.
This year’s awards are being offered by sponsors Showbiz Software Stores, the producer of industry standard Showbiz™ Time Cards and other cutting-edge production software; Write Brothers, Inc. the pioneer of screenwriting software; Blake Snyder, the screenwriter of movies such as Blank Check or Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot; and Avid Technology, Inc., the leader in editing software and technology.
“We are excited about the increased number of filmmaker entries we’ve received for the second box[ur]shorts festival. Many of our advancements this year have been made possible by the generous support of our industry sponsors, who’ve also helped us to achieve our continuous goal to offer the best short films to our audience. The search for memorable content and creative talents is fun and perhaps the most rewarding element of the festival,” says Giacun Caduff, festival director.
