Let's say you're both a filmmaker and an environmentalist, and you've made this great short film. Maybe you don't have Al Gore in your film all pumped up and talking about global warming, and you couldn't land Melissa Etheridge to write you a nifty theme song. But still, it's a pretty good little film with an environmental message. You worked your tailfeathers off making it, maxed out your credit cards, borrowed money from your folks and scrounged costume and prop pieces from all your friends, and at the end of all that, what are you going to do with it?Lucky for you, we may have just the answer. The folks at Gen Art, in partnership with Planet Green Game (which is itself a partnership between Starbucks and Global Green USA) have announced a call for entries for the debut of Gen Arts' Online Film Festival.

So you've completed that short film, and now you don't know what to do with it. Submit to festivals? Sure, but everyone does that. Now Delta Airlines is partnering with Gen Art to give you a chance to have your film seen by thousands of captive audience members strapped into their seats at 25,000 feet. Plus you can win cash (and what filmmaker can't use some of that to pay off those credit cards maxed out in completing that film?), travel, and a trip to Sundance 2007!
If you want to enter, you have until October 31, 2006. Five finalists will be chosen by "industry professionals" ( I assume by industry they mean the film industry) to have their short shown both online and on Delta's domestic transcontinental flights. All finalists will receive a pair of round-trip tickets good for any domestic Delta flight. The five finalists will be voted on through audience balloting (both online and on Delta flights) and the winner will receive (drum roll please) $10,000 cash (!), a pair of round-trip tickets valid for international travel on Delta, AND a trip to Sundance with a guest, where he or she will be feted at a celebratory party, where the winning film will be shown.
Geez, what are you waiting for? Official rules and entry form can be found right here. So dust that short off and get it in already. And if a Cinematical reader happens to have their film chosen as a finalist, let us know!
