[pct-l] One Month Left To Submit to the Kick Off Film Festival!

[Ryan Christensen]

Fellow PCT'ers, 

It is not too late... there is about one month left to submit your video for the Kick Off Film Festival! Here is the info:


Starting with the 2010 Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off, we will 
be hosting a new video program! Every year people come up and ask if they can 
show their PCT video creation on the famous Tyvek screen. Unfortunately they 
usually have to be turned away due to the time available. This upcoming year we 
will spend part of an evening showing videos that the PCT community submitted. 
With this new video program more people will get to show off their videos to the 
hundreds of PCT’ers that show up every year at the kick-off. 


We are looking for short videos related to the PCT that are 5 to 7 minutes 
long. We will accept up to 12 videos. We are not looking for videos that only 
consist of scenic photos randomly thrown together- we are looking for videos 
that have story- videos that show that the video creator has something to say. 
The video could be funny, painful, uplifting. It could offer a vignette into a 
particular aspect of hiking the trail; it could explore a particular place or 
person; it could explore a particular  incident or event—but the most 
important requirement is that it relates to the PCT. Also, keep in mind that 
children will be present at the kick-off screening.

Videos must be submitted by April 15th so it can be received in time for the 
April 23rd and 24th 2010 kick-off. Videos should be burned to a NTSC DVD Disk. 
I-Movie, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro and Windows Movie Maker all can do this 
for you. It can be in widescreen 16x9 or 4x3 aspect ratio. The total running 
time and the video-makers contact information should be written on the disk. The 
selection of videos to be shown is per the discretion of ProDeal, Weathercarrot 
and Freefall. Those not shown may be retained for future use or discarded. No 
DVD's will be returned. No video will be used for any other use without the 
permission of the video creator.

Disks should be mailed to:
Ryan Christensen
955 W. Adams Blvd Apt 18
Los Angeles, CA 90007-4823 


We are looking forward to watching your amazing creations!
