ATL Short Cuts Film Contest enters the final countdown
Time’s almost up to capture your hometown for the ATL Short Cuts Film Contest.
The deadline is nigh for the Creative Loafing and Atlanta Film Festival’s ATL Short Cuts Film Contest, which will be accepting submissions through 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18 (i.e., tomorrow). To quickly reiterate the rules: the filmmakers must be Georgia residents and produce their entries in the Atlanta area; the films should convey our local color, so provide some indication of the flavor of Atlanta; films must be shot with a cell phone, point-and-shoot camera, or kind of Flip camera; and the films should be no more than five minutes, give or take.
Our top picks will be shown on the big screen at the Palomar Hotel in Midtown on March 2 and March 3, and subjected to an online voting competition to determine Viewers Choice Awards. Our panel of local film aficionados will select a Critics Pick and a runner-up. The winning entries will be shown before feature films at this year’s Atlanta Film Festival, April 28-May 7.
