Filmmakers friends! Be aware that the 4th Annual 72 Hour Shootout goes down this weekend. 72 hours to write, shoot, edit and produce a short digital film. It should be a crazy weekend of creativity, chaos and inspired moviemaking. To kickoff the festivities, they're throwing a party. To all the folks in New York, the Shootout Launch Party is this Friday, June 22nd, 8:00 p.m. EST at Fontana's, where they'll announce the long-awaited theme of this year's Shootout. Meet your fellow filmmakers/competition, have a few drinks and some fun... before you embark on your 72 hour film journey. If you're an actor, writer etc. who's still hoping to be a part of a team, they'll actually be facilitating team match-ups at the event. Also, if you'd like to participate in The Shootout, they'll have last-minute registration on site. It's not too late for you! For more information about the launch party and competition, go here.
