The Santa Cruz Film Festival and Cinemasports (the Iron Chef of Filmmaking) are giving YOU (filmmakers / actors) a chance to screen your film at the Fest this year! Filmmaking teams have 10 hours to complete a movie with a list of "ingredients" given at 9AM and will screen YOUR 3 minute film that evening. Screening of finished movies starts on the 11th hour - that very night. Movies made this morning screen tonight hot and fresh.

That evening's screening parades raw creativity by different filmmakers interpreting the same constraints. Cinemasports spring series includes Paris, Frankfurt, and Sofia, Bulgaria. Filmmakers and actors can participate by signing up on the website. www.cinemasports.com

Come with a team or come alone and we'll try to match you with one.

There is no registration fee. Yes Free.

Three time Academy Award winner (and our favourite sound editor) Walter Murch says about Cinemasports, "You get beautiful randomness"

Screenings are $5 - $10 sliding scale and open to everyone.

Challenge
o Can teams complete a short movie before sundown that includes a lost lover, a blue marble, and plastic surgery?

Crisis Breeds Creativity
o Forced concessions become opportunities for new thinking. No other event promises screening before bedtime - over celebration cocktails!

Everyone Participates
o Industry veterans and handycam prodigies juxtapose creations. Participants infect the audience with an exuberant buzz. Audience members arrive at the next event with camera in hand. A social movement is brewing. Cinemasports.

BIG FAT INDEPENDENT MOVIE - Philip Zlotorynski 79.5 min.
Writer/producer Chris Gore, founder of Film Threat, lampoons some of the most successful and highly acclaimed Indie flicks of recent times, including “Pulp Fiction�, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding�, “El Mariachi�, “Pi�, “Swingers�, and “The Good Girl�. Including every art house cliché—from philosophical hitmen to sexy lesbians—this creative farce stars the hilarious Paget Brewster, star of Showtime’s original series “Huff�, and the short lived but highly acclaimed Fox sitcom, “Andy Richter Controls the Universe�.

11:00 PM - THE LATE LATE SHOW (The Riverfront Theater)

GRAVES END - James Marlowe 89 min
Some dark secrets won’t stay buried forever. Shot in the mountains of Santa Cruz, where more than a few weird things have actually happened! “Graves End� is the kind of film that could have been very dark, humorless, sterile and deeply disturbing. Instead this pulpish, edgy, fun, moody, convoluted, complex, campy, and shocking film is a romp in the thriller/horror genre. As James Marlow states: “…with tongue planted firmly in cheek, I used humor to break tension and segue us from one scene to another. The film needed a balance and humor is an excellent equalizer.�
