Filmmakers from all over the world are invited to submit their short films for the first ever Whitby in Shorts International Short Film Festival 2009. The festival will run from 5 to 13 September in Whitby, the historic whaling port at the foot of the North Yorkshire Moors in England.
Entries are sought in 12 genres: Fiction/Drama, Documentary, Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi, Animation, CGI, Music Vido, Environment, Sport, Travel, Religion. The 20 best short films in each genre will be screened at the festival.
For more information on how to submit entries online log onto www.whitby-in-shorts.org.uk.
The festival is the brainchild of the brainchild of Whitby composer and filmmaker Nigel Ward. It has emerged as a direct consequence of his unique approach to making two full-blown feature-length movies in Whitby, produced in Dolby Digital™ 5.1 Surround Sound, with no grants, no funding and zero-budget.
