BOULDER, CO — The 24-hour fast film competition known as The Shoot Out Boulder, has announced a call for team entries. The Shoot Out Boulder, which takes place Oct. 12 to 13, is now in its fourth year. It is the first annual 24 hour competition of its kind in the United States, and was voted the Best Film Festival 2007 by Westword.
The Shoot Out Boulder challenges filmmakers of all experience levels to trust
their courage, imagination and determination to make a seven-minute-long film
in just 24 hours. Conti expects The Shoot Out Boulder once again draw more
then 400 competitors. "Fast filmmaking is an entirely new category of
filmmaking, and is not just limited to professionals, but open to everyone,
from families to college students to middle schoolers," says Michael
Conti, executive director of The Shoot Out Boulder. “It is an
experience far beyond just watching a reality show like On the Lot (the new
Fox reality filmmaking show, where filmmaker contestants produce short films
to compete for a $1 Million development deal.)," he says. "This
event is the real thing, in your own backyard, you can actually participate
yourself, and walk home with one thousand dollars."
