Now’s your chance to show what you can do as director of your own short film.

This February, NC State is bringing back Campus MovieFest for another film competition. This event offers students the chance to make their own movies and win prizes in the world’s largest student film festival.

Each team of students that registers will be provided with a loaner Apple laptop, an HD video camera, and technical support. They’ll have one week to make a five-minute masterpiece. Submissions will be judged, and the top movies will be showcased at a Campus MovieFest Finale celebration–red carpet and all. All of the movies will be featured in highlights on the web for the campus to see. In addition to unparalleled fame in Wolfpack Land, prizes include iPads, cash, pitch meetings in Hollywood, and the opportunity to meet movie and TV industry luminaries–well as the chance to enter the regional and national competitions.

Online registration is available now, and the competition begins on February 16, when equipment will be distributed to the teams at the D. H. Hill Library. For the next week, technical help will be available in the library’s Digital Media Lab from morning to night. Teams will make films up to five minutes in length and submit them by February 22.  At the finale, hosted at the Campus Cinema in the Witherspoon Student Center on February 27,  the winners will be announced and receive their prizes. Mark your calendars!

This event is sponsored by the Union Activities Board, University Housing, the IRC, DELTA, WolfTV, and the NCSU Libraries—as well as Panasonic and AT&T.  Watch past award-winning films from other universities and find out more information at www.campusmoviefest.com (or text “info” at 41234)
