Film Festivals go Viral
I once read an interview. Was it with Stephen Speilberg? I don’t recall. Anyway, the message was that with technology changing as much as it is, it may not be too many years until we see an Oscar nominated film that was shot on a hand held digital camera by a twelve year old. We may not be at that point yet, but the Viral Film Festival acknowledges the ability the masses have to create. The BeFilm Underground film festival is hosting it as part of their annual festival at 7:00 P.M., April 28th at the Dolby Theater in New York City. The founders have the world view that “shorter is better” when it comes to film, so videos created for online distribution are a natural fit.
What would people wear on the red carpet for a “short” film festival. Mini Skirts? Tube Tops? Briefs (Bad joke, I know)? Or would they just “come as they are” and just walk really fast so as not to waste any time? I can’t wait to find out.
