[pct-l] 2011 PCT Film Festival at the KO

[Ryan Christensen]

Its that time of year again! From outside my front door I can see the Sierra 
glisten under a mantle of white- winter has arrived in the high country. Now is 
the time to start putting together your videos for the 2011 Pacific Crest Trail 
Film Festival at the Kick-off! 
For 2011 we will have two categories: videos up to 8 minutes in length and 
videos between 8 and up to 20 minutes in length. We will only select one or two 
of the longer videos to screen and the rest of the time will be slotted for the 
shorter videos. Screening up to 10 of the shorter videos gives more people the 
chance to share their work of art to the PCT community. 



We are looking for short videos that are related to the PCT. We are not looking 
for videos that were mindlessly thrown together- we are looking for videos  that 
have story- videos that show that you 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.

Videos must be submitted by April 15th so it can be received in time for the  
April 29th start of the 2011 kick-off. Videos should be burned to a DVD Disk.  
I-Movie, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro and Windows Movie Maker all can do this  
for you. It can be in wide-screen 16x9 or 4x3 aspect ratio. The total running  
time and the video-creators contact information should be written on the disk. 
The  selection of videos to be shown is per the discretion of ProDeal. 
Submissions 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.
The mailing address to send the DVD's will come out in early January. Look for 
an announcement on the ADZ website: http://www.siechert.org/adz/, on the PCT-L 
or you can email me directly. 


We are looking forward to your viewing your creations!
