BrickCon Film Festival

BrickCon Film Festival is returning to Seattle in October of 2011! It's time to get your cameras rolling again!

Last year, we had quite a few worthy entries, with these winners:

Best of Fest
The Dandelion – by Daniel Utecht

Best Animation
Metamorphosis - by David Pickett

Best Drama
The Dandelion – by Daniel Utecht

This year we have a Theme:

We are replacing the Best Drama category with Best in Theme and will have a really cool new trophy.

I mean really, do we make these films for the prizes? I think not. We do it for the trophies. At least I do!

Now, about the theme. No worries. Relax. You can submit any type of brick film you want, but since the winners are determined by public vote, I strongly suggest doing an in-theme film.

Feel free to use any interpretation of the theme you like, e.g. castle lord, lord of the things you wear on your finger, dark lord, Sith lord, robot lord, whatever you like.

My interpretation is “Lord of the Flies”, if you didn’t get it from the banner.

Awards and prizes will be given for the best films submitted, and the claim to fame till next year.

Films will be shown to attendees and voted on to determine the best.

They will also be shown during our Public Exhibition.

Submission guidelines:

1. BrickCon Film Festival reserves the right accept or not accept film submissions at its sole discretion.
2. Films must be your own original work.
3. You must be registered as an attendee to submit an entry.
4. 1-4 minutes is a good length, longer films may be rejected unless they are incredibly awesome.
5. Recommended file types are *.mov or *.mp4
6. The last day we can receive your submission is September 17, 2011.
7. Contact Dave Ingraham (pull down the "Category" list) on our Contact Us page to contact me about submitting your film.
8. You must be present to win the prize (else the prize will go to filmmaker whose film has the next most votes).

Filmmakers agree that their film and/or clips from it and all other material related to their project may be used and/or published in the event program, the BrickCon Film Festival screening, the BrickCon website, rescreened at BrickCon and for any promotional purposes which the BrickCon Film Festival deems appropriate.

Submission of your film confirms that you have read, understand, and agree to the BrickCon Film Festival Submission Guidelines as stated above.

Good luck and happy filming!
