Indie-UN Film 2013
Do you have what it takes to be a great filmmaker? If yes is your answer, then start filming your way to the Indie-UN Film Competition 2013. With this opportunity in hand, De La Salle University aims to recognize the talents of aspiring filmmakers and be able to share their creative ideas to other students all over the country. To join, submit a copy of your video in any of the four (4) categories: Feature (video or animation), Documentary, Music Video and Experimental Video. Along with the P180 application fee, submit your entry directly to De La Salle University. All entries will be filtered by the organizers along with selected judges. Get chosen and be qualified for a chance to win P10,000 (Best Feature), P7,000 (Best Documentary), P5,000 (Best Music Video & Best Experimental Video), P3,000 (Best Cinematography), and P2,000 (Best Screenplay, Best Director, & Manr Award: People's Choice Award). I guess, every school and non-profit organization wanted to promote creativity and create awareness in the independent film genre among the youth that's why there's been a call for such competitions lately. Running on the same goal is the Ateneo Video Open Competition. With almost the same mechanics, you can also start submitting your entries for a chance to be recognized as well as win cash prizes.
