exciting times, straight8ers...

we think this is a totally ace thing...

for the first time ever we're having a full-blown premiere screening in the US of A
and it couldn't be at a better festival

we're collaborating with slamdance film fest to premiere some of our straight 8 2011 entries at this legendary independent film festival in utah, january 2011

the theme of this year's slamdance is "all is not lost" which fits perfectly with the straight 8 ethos: one super 8 cartridge, no editing. the straight 8/slamdance jury will keep it in mind when selecting the films

to be eligible for slamdance, just enter straight 8 2011 in the normal way before december 6th and get your film back to us by december 13th

all films submitted will be part of straight 8 2011 as a whole, and so could also be screened at cannes film festival, london and more.  a later deadline for all other screenings will still apply for those who can't make the slamdance deadline

shooting people are offering an amazing 6 months free membership entrants.  they're the independent filmmakers' network - a great resource to help with all your cast and crew needs. and ultimately to meet other film-minded people - it's a great offer... thanks shooters!

thanks also to kodak, who are supplying us with 4 incredible super 8 stocks, 2 of which are brand new for this year- you can choose from: vision2  200t or 500t colour negative, ektachrome 100d colour reversal or tri-x black & white

and to soho film lab for their super-fast processing and telecine

so are you up for it?  making whatever the hell film you want and knowing it could well show at slamdance or cannes or one of our other packed screenings in london and beyond....
pressure's on.  all that freedom....  what's a film-maker to do?

film.  that's what

come on.  let's do it

see you in utah, cannes...
