Calling All Aspiring Filmmakers: The Fourth Annual Undergraduate Film Festival is Now Casting YOU!

This is an open casting call from the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences to all aspiring student filmmakers: directors, editors, cinematographers, actors and actresses, screenplay writers—any undergraduate students interested in developing a short film to be screened and judged at the Undergraduate Student Symposium on Friday, April 9, 2010.

Preparation
Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or you’ve never held a camera, if you’ve always wanted to make a movie, you’re invited to participate in the festival. There will be a series of workshops leading up to the symposium where you’ll learn all you need to know about making a film, from beginning to end (details to be announced soon). Learn how to operate a digital video camera, how to write and direct, and how to edit a film, as well as valuable techniques for lighting and sound. During production, equipment such as cameras and editing software will be provided to teams on a one-week rental basis.

Guidelines
Interested students will form groups of four or five participants to create a short (three to eight minutes) film in one of the following genres: narrative, documentary, or avant-garde. Each film must incorporate an aspect of “Good and Evil,” the 2009–2010 undergraduate academic theme. Each group’s writer/director must be a current undergraduate at Nova Southeastern University.
