For all you DIY-Herzogs out there, it's time to get cracking in the editing bay. The deadline for submission to the Kansas City FilmFest is almost here.
The contest started accepting shorts and features in August, but with every passing deadline the entry fee goes higher. The next deadline, which costs under $40 in most categories, is November 15, and the final cut-off for entries is less than a month away -- December 1.
Entry fees vary by project length and category, and can be found at the fest's Web site, kcjubilee.org.
Screeners should be sent in a region 1 DVD format, with a fee and entry form, to:
KC Jubilee
4826 W. 77th Terrace
Prairie Village, KS 66208-4321
The festival itself will be held April 14-18, 2010 at the AMC Mainstreet. The jury and visiting filmmakers have yet to be announced.
And not to dirty art with commerce, but this is a nice chance to win some cash, too. The festival's given out more than $200,000 in cash and prizes for award winners, and you know that would buy you a much nicer camera for the documentary you've always wanted to about poverty or hunger or social injustice. Make society open its eyes, man!
