The CBC is returning with the third instalment of its short film reality TV competition: the Short Film Face Off.
“To be eligible for consideration, films must be under 12 minutes in length, must have been completed in the past two years, and must not have been broadcast previously on network television. We are looking for comedies and dramas. Music videos and documentaries are not eligible.”
Selected filmmakers will be invited to Halifax for tapings in mid-May in front of a live studio audience.
The Grand Prize is $30,000 from Telefilm and $10,000 in equipment rentals from PS Production Services.
My take: If you like reality TV, you make short films, you’re personable and you have a thick skin, why not submit one of your masterpieces? Besides the national exposure, the prize is not too shabby.
