Bunny Hat Productions is announcing the CALL FOR ENTRIES for the 5th annual Gong Shorts film competition! This unique interactive and audience-voted film event will take place at the Alamo Drafthouse Park North on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 at 6 pm. A special guest speaker, to be announced, will open the event and the competition will start at 7 pm. Comedian Jade Esteban Estrada, who has been with The Gong Shorts since the beginning, will emcee this fun event. It is free for filmmakers to submit a film and they accept up to 20 submissions on a first come, first serve basis. The deadline is September 23, 2014.
How it works: Filmmakers may submit any original film 3-15 minutes long on a playable dvd or blu-ray (one film per person). All films are played in the order they are received. Every film is guaranteed to play for 3 minutes, but after that the audience can call for the dreaded “gong” if they’re displeased. If the gong is struck, the intrepid host stops the film and the next movie begins. Good news is the audience offers filmmakers feedback on what they like and what they think needs improvement. Filmmaker should not fear, however, as Jade keeps the audience in line. Each filmmaker also gets a few minutes for a Q&A.
Only the first 20 films will be screened. They stop taking submissions once they’ve received their quota so get films in early! No pornographic entries or promos please, but everything else is accepted. Submission fee is waived since filmmakers must purchase a ticket ($10) at the box office to enter. Filmmakers MUST be in attendance to win the Grand Prize of $100. Additional prizes to runner-ups include tickets to Mixtli Restaurant and the LOL Comedy Club.
Entries can be Submitted to:
