Tracey: Re-Fragmented - A Unique Online Editing Opp for Canadian Filmmakers

Here's a terrific filmmaking opportunity for the HOME crowd...

In an online contest launched last month called Tracey: Re-Fragmented, Canadian Director, Bruce McDonald released all the footage from his latest award-winning feature film, The Tracey Fragments under Creative Commons and is inviting aspiring filmmakers to mash it up as a re-cut, which any old way they like! The other bonus is this initiative makes the movie's score by Indie, Broken Social Scene available for use as well.

In explaining his inspiration for the project McDonald says:

“The Tracey Fragments is a film that fully embraces experimentation and teamwork. I wanted to find out if that experience exists on the Internet and give others the chance to experiment and play with some beautifully shot footage of a world class actress in a free form environment. I hope people make their own feature films, short films, rock videos, trailers, experimental films and personal manifestos out of The Tracey Fragments."

(see full Press Release)

The contest started October 29, 2007 and closes on Jan.31, 2008, so there's still lots of time to enter.
The winning Canadian submission will be chosen by Bruce McDonald and his editors and receive an Apple Final Cut Pro prize pack, in addition to a spot in the bonus features on the DVD release of The Tracey Fragments.

So Guys and Gals, get online and strut your stuff...... If anything, it could be a bit of fun :)
Instructions and contest details are available here.

Good Luck!

The film "The Tracey Fragments", which is based on the eponymous novel by Canadian author Maureen Medved makes its name and the story is only in small parts - just "Fragments" - tell. It is not clear whether the fragment now it is true or just fantasy and imagination, or a lie that Tracey wants to convince himself as a truth.
