Named "Best Local Film Event" by the Tucson Weekly
Sponsored by the Tucson Film Office
On the first Friday of each month at 9 p.m. Red Meats Max Cannon
hosts the biggest, baddest short film contest in town - just bring us
your short films and well play them on the largest movie screen in
Southern Arizona.
FYI: In July we're moving the show to the second Friday of the month
(July 11th) so you can celebrate your freedom by singing along to
Team America: World Police at The Loft on July 4th at 6:00 p.m.!
This month, get ready to rumble at the First Friday Shorts Year-End
Showdown #3 (yes, you heard correctly, our Year-End Showdown is in May
deal with it!). As we reach the end of our third year of
celebrating/exploiting Tucsons talented amateur filmmakers, were
bringing back all 12 films that have won the coveted $100 cash prize
over the past 12 months, and pitting them head-to-head in a cinematic
smack-down from which only one filmmaker shall emerge victorious.
Host Max Cannon calls the shots and doles out the penalties as we see
who will survive to claim our Year End Showdown grand prize of $500,
a years worth of free movies at The Loft, and the coveted First
Friday Shorts championship belt! Be there or be square, because your
votes will make it happen!
Year 4 begins immediately following the Showdown, so bring your new
films to the show as well, because one lucky filmmaker will escape
the dreaded "gong" to become our first winner of the New Year,
walking away with a sweet $100 in cash. Now hit the showers!
In case you've never been to a First Friday Shorts show, here are the
rules:
we'll play anything you've made that's under 15 minutes long and is
brought to us on a dvd, vhs, or mini-dv (one film per person, dvds
must be playable on a regular dvd player). Submissions are only taken
on the day of the event and films are played in the order that they
arrive. Every film is guaranteed to play for 3 minutes, but after
that it can be gonged if the audience so chooses. If the gong is
struck the film is stopped and the next film begins. If your film is
gonged you can re-work it and bring it back and see if the changess
you've made have pleased the audience. This is a great way to try out
new things and see what an actual audience responds to, so take
advantage.
Please note: Since we don't pre-screen the films we don't have any
idea what the rating on the show will be. Parents are encouraged to
attend the show with their kids.
