Do your part for Canadian culture. Make a short film.
DEADLINE: October 20, 2007
Less Cut, More Action is a challenge to ACTRA Toronto members to create a short film about the need for Canadian drama, Canadian stars, and a cultural policy that protects and develops our film and television industry.
ACTRA’s Co-op film agreement is our ultra-low-budget agreement. When you make a film using ALL ACTRA MEMBERS, you get to take advantage of an agreement available only to members. All participants agree to share in any proceeds equally, should you achieve fame and fortune with your co-op film.
See what we can do when we do it ourselves!
Clever, political films made by Toronto members are already below from the last two Co-op Challenges. Get inspired and put your wits to work!
Winning films will be screened at our conferences, shown for educational purposes and as political outreach, and posted on websites such as YouTube and www.actratoronto.com.
Format
Films should be 90 seconds or less in length. Please submit 2 copies in DVD format.
