Participants are advised to get their entries in early since there will be plenty of competition. Some of the video entries are already posted online at welcometotheextraordinary.com. The submissions will be judged by leading luminaries of the film industry including actor Matthew Horne, film journalist Joe Utichi and founder of the Raindance Film Festival, Elliot Grove.
Prizes will be awarded for the two best entries. The first place prize includes is a trip to the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, a screening of their movie at the 2010 Raindance Film Festival, a free one year subscription to Raindance and a full Raindance Festival Pass. Their video will also be promoted by InterCasino.
The other prize will be awarded to the film that generates the most views on YouTube. The winner of this prize will receive two tickets to the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) after-show party, a one year subscription to Raindance.tv and a full Raindance Festival Pass.
"I'm really passionate about the idea of giving aspiring filmmakers a platform such as this to break into the industry and it's great to be helping to showcase new talent in this way. Getting your film screened at the Raindance Film Festival is a really extraordinary opportunity and I'm very excited about taking a look at the short films that are entered into the competition," said competition judge Matthew Horne.
