SUMMER SILENTS Film Scramble sign up

Mobile Bay Film Scramble and the Crescent Theater present

SUMMER SILENTS

It’s time to put some of those great ideas into action, the fifth Mobile
Bay Film Scramble begins!

If you’ve always wanted to be a part of the exciting film scrambles
happening in town but never knew how, here’s your chance.

Film scrambles offer a unique challenge to all area filmmakers, from
beginners to professionals, to complete a short film within a very limited
time frame.

Three ways you can get in on it:

First:

Meet at the Blind Mule Bar & Restuarant Thursday May 17, at 8 PM.
There you will find out the specs and rules of the scramble, register, meet
other participants, have a bite to eat and a drink (or three.)
If you’d like to participate but are not a filmmaker, come out anyway.
Teams can always use actors, extras, technical assistants, prop masters,
etc.

Second:

Make your film!  And turn it in to the Crescent Theater by 8 PM Friday June
8 .  That gives you around 20 days to write, record, edit and submit
a short silent film.

Third:

Come out to the Crescent Theater on Friday June 22 at 11 PM to see all the
films.

Prizes?  Why, yes!  The winners determined by audience vote.

Mobile began hosting film scrambles in 2006 with the Mobile Arts Council
and Alabama Film Group, headed up by Margaret Broach.  After that, film
scrambles caught on, with Hailee Kuntz from South Alabama Film Festival
hosting several film scrambles.  The Student and Filmmaker Alliance (SAFA)
began hosting an annual film scramble in 2010, which paired 7th and 8th
grade writers with local filmmakers, recently celebrated their 3rd annual
competition.
Mobile Bay Film Scramble has been hosting film scrambles at the Crescent
Theater at least quarterly for the past handful of years.

Sign-Up – Thursday May 17 8PM at the Blind Mule
