2nd Annual Ranch Film Festival

[kimemerson 7]

Just a quick note with no details: Saturday, August 25 will be the Ranch's second annual Film Festival. (This is the Saturday night of our world famous Pond Swoop Nationals.) We will have multiple categories: Fiction, Non-Fiction, "Mindless Music Driven Eye Candy" and the inspired "LLama Mama Drama 24 Hour Shooting Spree". Every entry must have skydiving represented in some fashion, somehow (it's up to you as to how). The bigger trophies go to the original story, original everything fiction film. But everything is welcome. We will allow documentary, vintage, drama, comedy... Everyone wins something.
The "Mindless Music Driven Eye Candy" is self explanatory, I hope. It's the kind of music video we see everywhere anyway. (Shoot footage. Add music. Fire up a blunt. Rock out. Walk away feeling good and self satisfied.) The "LLama Mama Drama 24 Hour Shooting Spree" is for those who cannot possibly do anything on time and need the final 24 hours before deadline to shoot. Don't begin the camera rolling til 24 hours before the deadline for submission. Ideally, films in this category are conceived, shot, edited and submitted all on the go, usually modifying the script - if there is one - at time code speed, and running over to the screening area while other timely submissions are being viewed and turn that sucker in under the wire.
Details will follow sometime, and there will be more on the Ranch web site - http://theblueskyranch.com but it's not there yet.

Thanks. Hope to see you there.
