New Media Film Festival “Sniplers” Contest partners with FilmBreak
New Media Film Festival is excited to announce a partnership with FilmBreak to provide exclusive content for 2012 New Media’s “Sniplers” category. Sniplers – snippets of a trailer – are 30 second spots that are the stepping stones to get films funded, made, and seen in a longer format. Sniplers can be produced for any project ranging from web content to features.
The 3rd Annual New Media Film Festival will be held on June 12th and 13th at the Landmark Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.
Submissions are accepted year round. Each submission is considered for screening and competition. Filmmakers whose Sniplers are selected for screening will receive one festival badge valued at $75, a 30% discount code for their fellow cast and crew and other goodies.
There is a Best of Sniplers Category winner that is eligible for the Grand Prize, valued at $45k combined with other prizes.
For 2012, Here’s how to participate:
- Create a FilmBreak account.
- Create a new Project (any genre) and be sure to select “Sniplers – New Media Film Festival Contest” for the Length/Time category.
- From the Media tab, input the URL for your Snipler (YouTube or Vimeo). Please keep in mind:
- Your Snipler needs to be 30 seconds in length and must include a Title
- You can end your Snipler with a web link instead of credits if desired
Once you input the URL for your Snipler, you’re done! FilmBreak and New Media Film Festival will review all submissions and filmmakers whose Sniplers are selected for screening will be notified by May 31st. If accepted, you will be required to submit your Snipler in either AVI, H.264 digital, DVD or Blue Ray for the actual screening.
