I don't think there's too many members from New Mexico here but I thought I would go ahead and let anyone that is from here know about the state of New Mexico Governor's Cup Film Festival.
The deadline is over... Submissions were to be in on September 10, 2004. This will be an annual film festival beginning this year... Basically, you enter your short film of 25 minutes or less. The fest is to recognize New Mexico filmmaking talent...
The New Mexico Film Commission broke New Mexico up into 5 regions and will take (I think) the 3 best films from each region... The 15 best films will be shown at the Santa Fe Film Festival in December...
I'm from Region 4 (Southern New Mexico) and I submitted my 6 minute short film: "SEXTEEN" --I wrote the thing in 2 hours... I shot it in 2 hours... And I edited it in 10 hours... LOL. Unfortunately, I received my DVX100A the day before shooting so I wasn't nearly as familiar with it as I am now but despite that, the film came out okay...
Anyway... Back on topic...
Here's the information for the scheduled screenings:
