Annual film challenge creating international reputations

With last year’s Standout Winner a finalist at the Panda Awards (“the green OSCARS”), the annual The Outlook for Someday film challenge is growing its profile and building international reputations for young NZ film-makers.
The Outlook for Someday is calling for entries to the 2010 film challenge.
Now in its fourth year, the challenge for young NZ’ers is to make a short sustainability-related film, any genre, filmed with any camera and any length up to 5 minutes. The entry deadline is 17th September, 2010.
Anyone up to the age of 24 can enter, either individually or in a team.
Information and entry forms are on the website  www.theoutlookforsome

The Winning Films are broadcast by TVNZ 6 on Freeview (channel 6) and SKY Television (channel 16).
Last year’s Winning Films included dramas, animations and documentaries by young people aged three to 21.
Charlee Collins, who made Standout Winner The Break Up in her final year at Kaitaia College, will find out in October if it has won the Jury’s Choice Award at the Panda Awards in the UK.
Supporting the film challenge this year is a group of well known NZ’ers who have become The Outlook for Someday Ambassadors: Kirsten Morrell, Oliver Driver, Te Radar, Lanita Ririnui-Ryan, Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Liesha Ward Knox, Olly Coddington and Wendy Douglas.
Eight films will be chosen from among the 20 Winning Films to receive special awards:
The 20 Winning Films will be celebrated and the Special Awards will be announced at The Outlook for Someday Awards red-carpet ceremony towards the end of the year.
As in previous years the film challenge will conclude with a vote for Audience Favourite.
