The Second $1000 Hunted Film Contest is on!
The Hunted is part "Buffy", part "Cops" where we attempt to prove the existence of vampires though our sword-slinging, vampire slaying reality web series.
And now we're giving you (yes you, not your buddy who never returned your hammer) the chance to create your own Hunted episode and win $1000! That's right, $1000! Not a sewing machine or an iphone faceplate, $1000 freakin dollars people! For a 6-8 minute video? That's over $100 a minute! Never shot anything in your life? Well neither had the winners of the last contest. Check out what they had to say: http://thehuntedtv.blogspot.com/2009/...
So no excuses - grab a camera, shoot a fight, show some fangs, make us laugh, and bam - you're done!
Our new official title is Second International Hunted Film Festival and Youtube Competition. Yea, it's a bit pretentious, but we're registering with http://www.withoutabox.com (international festival submission site) which will give us international exposure. We will also be approaching a few new celebrity judges (to be announced). For a past list of judges, see http://thehuntedtv.blogspot.com/2009/...
So we're talking $1000, international exposure, new surprise celebrity judges, and a possible screening at the 2010 CUT Film Festival in LA where Joss Whedon will be featured with projects from "Buffy" to "Dr. Horrible". Did I also mention there's no submission fee? And you keep all rights to your own video. Come on guys, you got no excuses, nothing to lose. Go for it - give it a shot! Come to the dark side - we have cookies.
