Entries Are In!

The closing date for entries for the Darklight and Sony Ericsson’s movie-making challenge Free Your Film has now passed.

Free Your Film was created to find 3 aspiring filmmakers and to provide them with a budget of €3000 to make a short film. Darklight are providing invaluable support from their expert guest producer, Katie Holly from Blinder Films, while Sony Ericsson are providing the HD video camera. The camera comes in the form of the new Sony Ericsson Vivaz, the world’s smallest HD video camera phone. The 3 winners will get national exposure and have their films premiered on the opening night of the Darklight Film Festival.

We’ve had an overwhelming response and we’re now selecting our 10 finalists, who’ll pitch their idea to our panel of judges, including Sarah Bolger. If you’ve entered, hopefully you’ll hear from us soon. If not, then watch this space, we’ll be announcing the 3 winners, along with their idea, soon.

Filming starts on the 12th September and you’ll be able to see their ideas come to life as they document their progress regularly on this site.
