Q: I
don’t have a nice camera. And all I’ve got is a phone. Can I still compete?
A: Absolutely! If you have a good script, we don’t care how poor
the video quality is. Just do the best with what you have- we want
EVERYONE to compete!
Q: Does my
film have to be ABOUT the phrase and object I choose?
A: Not at all. As long as the phrase is spoken at some point in
the film, and the object is in the camera’s view at some point
in the film, you are good!
Q: What kind
of music is permissible for inclusion in my film?
A: Either music you created, own the rights to, or public domain,
royalty-free music. There are a ton of websites that offer this
kind of music for download, completely free. Just because you
own a band’s CD does not give you the “rights” to use it in
your own production.
(Come back
to this page often- it’ll be updated with more FAQs regularly
leading up to the event!)
Those are all of the
official rules! If you have any further questions, send an email
to mccartymetro@gmail.com,
and I will reply to you or post it here.

WE
LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SUBMISSION!
