Agnes Varnum | Feb 08, 2010 | Comments 0
Entry Deadline: March 1, 2010
It is that time of year again to begin thinking about the annual Off-Centered Film Fest! The Alamo Drafthouse and Dogfish Head are working out the details this very moment for what will surely be the best OCFF yet! This is truly saying something, as the past years have been exceptionally memorable! The bar is set high and we aim to surpass it! Before we announce too many details for what to expect April of 2010, we wanted to make sure you had access to the new entry form! We encourage filmmakers and/or beer aficionados to get their hands on a camera and go to town making the most ‘off-centered’ short film they can come up. For a complete list of rules and to download the entry form click HERE!
So, give me some details?
• Your film can be no longer than 5 Minutes in length.
• All submissions must contain a theme of “off-centeredness”. This can be interpreted however the director sees fit.
• All submissions must include a reference to Dogfish Head in the script or have Dogfish Head product placement in the film.
• Directors submitting films must be at least 21 years old by the submission deadline.
