Second Tofino Guerilla Film Contest!


Wow, another year past already! With the success of the 2008 Tofino Guerilla Film Festival, we have been graciously welcomed back to the Shelter Restaurant on October 20th to host the second annual event.

Last year we narrowed the entries down to 10 fantastic amateur short films, ranging from comedy to animation, documentary to mystery, and artisitc to downright silliness. The restaurant packed out, votes were cast, and our first place winner "Air" received a cash prize, while second and third place finalists enjoyed dinner and drinks courtesy of Shelter (gift certificate prize - yummy!).

This year we are hoping to have even more videos to choose from... so now that you have seen it done, break out that old handy-cam, digital point & shoot, webcam or whatever it is you can get your hands on, and get filming!!!

Here are the rules & regs:
1) Films are to be no more than 3-5 minutes in lengh
2) You may work alone or as a team (and if you win something, you split the prize)
3) No explicit language/sexual content or nudity/excessive gore or violence/mocking or bashing any race/religion/cree/sex etc, or anything offensive or hurtful to an individual
4) Films MUST be submitted in EDITED, ON A DISC, & FORMATTED FOR DVD! Please TEST your dvd's before you send them. If we can't play them immediately, your film may not be considered. (If you need help with this, email us and we'll see what we can do...)
5) Drop off is end of business day, OCTOBER 15, at Mermaid books or to PO BOX 709, Tofino BC, V0R 2Z0

Remember this is an all ages show, so please keep it clean... and above all, HAVE FUN!!!
