Online film fest seeks entries

August 28, 2010 - 11:00 pm

You, too, can be an award-winning filmmaker. The Review-Journal Online Film Festival will seek entries for one more month from potential valley Spielbergs.

Your original comedy, drama, horror, nonfiction or artistic YouTube film must be shorter than four minutes and must involve Las Vegas in some way. Most importantly -- and we're strict here -- it needs to show a copy of the Review-Journal at least once.

Shorts will be judged on their creativity only, not their budgets. (Even camera-phone directors are eligible.)

Submit a link to your YouTube short to clevitan@review journal.com, e-mail subject line: "Online Film Festival," by Sept. 30. Films submitted in any other way will not be considered.

Winners will receive a plaque and a feature article; they will be announced in the fall.
