News and Updates August 13
Last night was a fabulous evening and a complete sell-out at the 200 seat Creative Alliance! Thanks to all the filmmakers, our sponsors Michelle and Craig, the Creative Alliance and everyone who came out to make our first year a success. We already can't wait 'til next year!
August 4 Filmmakers: Only about 48 hours left until projects are due - aren't you glad you had an extra 27 days? Meeting place and time are the same: Waterfront Hotel, 2nd floor, 7 p.m. Good luck as you wrap up your films and remember, all films need to be in by 7 to be eligible for awards and screening. Don't be late!

Well, it was a wonderful turnout at the Waterfront Hotel. Many thanks to all the teams who showed up and a special shout out to Sutisa Storm, who did a fine job choosing the prop, a large magnifying glass. Will we be seeing 15 Sherlock Holmes-type movies? We'll find out on August 6, my dear Watson! Also, please note the addition of the Resources page, which features helpful links for filmmakers and a message board.
July 8
Today is the big day! David Sarmiento, of Spherical Maze Studios, informs us that the Dark Knight will be showing across the street on a gigantic screen on the Broadway Pier at 8:45 p.m. So pack a lawn chair if you're interested in seeing a great outdoor film after our kickoff event!
July 7
Only one more day until the big kickoff. The official deadline to register is at 4 p.m. on July 8, but please let us know ASAP if interested as only a few of the 20 spots remain. Also note that you or a member of your team must be at the kickoff in Fells Point to pick up the prop and participate in the project!
Last night, we had the opportunity to pitch our project and see some great indie films at CAmm Cinelounge. Thanks to host Stacie of Black Ink Films and Kristen of the Creative Alliance for helping us to spread the word!
July 6 Craig Herron of Herron Designs has signed on! Craig will be providing $200 worth of effects services to the second place winner as well as offering a 29 percent discount on any effects works needed by a team during the competition. Thanks Craig and welcome aboard!

The details have been finalized (at least for now!) after an informative and fun meeting with Michelle and Jeanie of Absolute Independent Pictures and Steel Corset Productions. Michelle has offered a weekend of rentals (up to $1,000 in value) to the winner and a 29 percent discount to participants on her equipment rentals during the competition. Many thanks for your support and generosity, Michelle!
