movie for their Micro Mini Challenge
"Fulfill a resolution and immerse yourself in the film industry"
 
The Ferndale Film Festival is announcing their second Micro Mini Challenge

to benefit local charities. 
 
If you've been dying to try your hand at filmmaking, Ferndale Film Festival is offering you the chance.
Break out your video camera, flip phone, web cam, red cam or even your super 8, any means at
your disposal to create a 300 second movie.  Films must be shot in formats of black and white, and/or silent or
created as an homage to an Academy Award winning film. If the film is sufficiently
compelling, you could secure your first "Fernie" award
 
Submissions must be received and registered by no later than
12 Noon EST on March 7, 2010, the day of the Academy Awards.
Films must be submitted on non blu ray DVD.
 
The submission fee of $50 includes two tickets to the exclusive

Academy Awards Party at Dino's Lounge will feature an oscar simulcast,
screenings of all Micro Mini entries, awards ceremony, strolling dinner and
champagne toast. 
 
Award winning films will also be screened at the 2010 Ferndale Film Festival.
