Contest Information       Submissions

This is my third competition and by far the biggest! It will be judged by both peers and a panel of experts. The prizes will be split into two. The main prize will go to the best film judged by the panel. The remaining prizes will go to the people's vote winner.

Your video submission must be a narrative. That doesn’t necessarily mean dialogue but it has to have a story.
 
You may create your narrative video as either a fictional or non-fictional piece. But again it needs to tell a story. 

Your submission MUST have a detailed description of the film and explain exactly what the movie reference is. If there is no description or the film doesn't adhere to the rules it will most likely be deleted. Please stick to the rules! thanks. 

Please visit my website too for more information on the prizes and the incredibly generous sponsors: www.philipbloom.co.uk

Voting is out of 5. 1 is lowest vote you can give a film, 5 the highest. 

Thanks and good luck! 
 
 

Prerequisites

You have to reference a well-known movie in some way in the film and I don’t mean just by having a film poster in shot. A line of dialogue, a style of shot, a plot device…you get the idea. Some sort of homage and you need to explain where this homage is in your film and from which movie it came from. Nothing lame like having a character called Roy because Richard Dreyfuss’ character in Close Encounters was called Roy. Be clever, be inventive, points will be given for that!

Rules

As mentioned this is a narrative only competition, but it doesn't have to be a traditional narrative film... interpret that as you will.

Secondly, it cannot be longer than 3 minutes. There is no latitude to change that. You will need to be disciplined in this as unlike previous competitions I will have to be firm with this! Sorry! Thirdly, you cannot use any copyrighted images or music. You must have them licensed or be royalty free or of course be your own compositions…
