FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
5th Annual FRAMED Script Contest and Camp a Go!
June 20, 2006, St. John's NL - The St. John's International Women's Film Festival and the Newfoundland Independent Filmmakers Cooperative (NIFCO) present the 5th Annual FRAMED Script Contest and Media Camp.
FRAMED is a free hands-on training initiative that provides Level I, II or III students with a greater understanding of filmmaking. The challenge is to write an original script of any genre, preferably dialogue-heavy and approximately 10 minutes long. A team of high school students will produce the winning script at this year's FRAMED Media Camp (July 24-28) and the resulting film will be screened at the 17th Annual St. John's International Women's Film Festival, Oct. 18-22, 2006.
This year, professionals from NIFCO and the local pre-production software company Celtx will be working closely with participants, providing a combination of experience, state-of-the-art equipment and cutting edge software to develop the film.
Led's Concept, the short film produced by FRAMED 2005, opened last year's Women's Film Festival to enthusiastic reviews. Scriptwriter Alex Goncharov left FRAMED noting that "it's possible if you have a dream that you can go ahead and pursue it, whatever it is."
Scriptwriters should include their name, telephone number, e-mail, age and school in their submissions. Deadline is July 1, 2006. Students graduating from Level III are still eligible. No other conditions apply!
