OPEN CALL: Short Films for Benefit DVD

Grammar School Pictures is collaborating with Antoine Doinel Records on a cd/dvd package to benefit SMART, a non-profit early literacy program in Oregon.

The title of the project is Guilty Pleasures and we are asking interested parties to submit a short scene (5 minutes or less) from their favorite cheesy movie, re-created or re-imagined in their own style (basically, a "cover" of the scene - like Wes Anderson's Rushmore-style MTV Movie Awards commercials, for example).

The final due date for all submissions is October 23, 2006. By that date, all films should be delivered in Quicktime .mov format (no larger than 900 mb) on either data-dvd or cd to:

Matt Knapp
Grammar School Pictures
2368 W Burnside St ste. 209
Portland, OR 97210

Since this is a charity project, we can offer no cash prizes, but the selected filmmakers will receive 10 copies of the final product and, of course, a credit.

If you plan on submitting a scene, please register by emailing your name, the name of the film you are covering, and a brief description of the scene to: headmaster@grammarschoolpictures.com. Please direct any inquiries to the same email address.

Thanks and good luck!
