mprovised short film contest v2.0

On March the 11th, Meiwenti Productions launched our second Improvised Short Film Contest. Although there were less entries this time round the quality was very good, with our film workshop hopefully contributing to this in some way. We had seven entries this time and our judging was carried out by some professionals this time instead of an audience vote.
To guarantee that the films submitted to the contest were improvised, all the submissions had to include the following elements which were given to the contestants two weeks previously

1: A bobble head
2: A flight of birds
3: An animal
4: The heart of Shanghai
5: The line "that's so cool, can you do that again"
6: A pair of shoes
7: An egg
8: An accusation and a violent reaction
9: A hidden secret that is revealed in the last 45 seconds of the film


Winners

On Saturday the 11 of March, the screening of the films and the awards ceremony was held at " Velvet Lounge" with over 120 people showing up for the atmospheric event, with the winner of best film going to the very popular, Finding Fidel. The contest had some very interesting entries and a wide range of styles were on show but the two big winners on the night were clearly, Finding Fidel and Love.

The winning film (about a journalists attempt to understand and track down an iconic movie maker) just squeezed ahead of Love (about an online relationship between two young Chinese people) in what turned out to be a very tight race for best film. Finding Fidel also scooped the prizes for best actor (Chad Bagley), best actress (Eve de la Rosa), and for most original script, while Love took the awards for best editing and for cinematography. The other winners on the night were Party Piece (about a girls reflection on a romantic encounter the previous night) which won third best film while our feature film script writing contest was won by Beth Etstein. Below you will find a list of all evenings prize winners and entries:
