Filmaking In Festivities

[Ravneet Gill]

It's the beginning of "The Party" Competition at Filmaka! Make a

1-3 film on this theme and you could win funding to direct your

feature film! The competition is judged by esteemed international

filmmakers Werner Herzog, Zak Penn, Colin Firth, Paul Schrader, and

more! Each month there is a new theme and 15-20 filmmakers receive

$1500-$4500. Three of them go on to compete for feature funding at

the end of the year. Last year's final winner, Nuru Rimington-Mkali,

got $5 million to direct his film! Submissions are due January 12,

2009. Ready to take the first step? Go to www.filmaka.com/featurefilm
