Will be showing short films at Lo-Def on 6/26, submit yours

For the June 26th screening event at Lo-Def in Silver Spring, MD, I will be showing about 1.5 to 2 hours worth of short films. Shorts by James M. Johnston & Amir Motlagh & J. Kim will be there. If you have a short film that you would like to screen in Silver Spring, MD, mail me a DVD screener of it to:

Sujewa Ekanayake
Wild Diner Films
10408 Montgomery Ave.
Kensington, MD 20895

Also, e-mail me & let me know about your short, w/ links to sites, blogs, etc., if any. And include a description, any press material in the e-mail.

For more on Lo-Def, go here.

The usual plan at Lo-Def is to pay feature filmmakers a $100 screening fee (most of the time we will be screening features). For the shorts program each filmmaker will receive a screening fee of $25, since, most likely, there will be 6 or more filmmakers showing at the event.

Most likely the shorts screening will be a repeated event (different films, filmmakers each time), so even if your short does not make it in for 6/26, there is a chance that it might make it in for a future screening event, so send it in.

I am interested in both fiction & non-fiction shorts.

Leave a comment or e-mail me if you have any questions.

Thanks.

The YouTube New Wave is here - mainstream accessible, well made indie films by filmmakers who promote their work

See two examples of YouTube New Wave (term coined by filmmaker Chris Sharpe) indie films below. Previously releasing indie films - features - on YouTube was a fringe, hobbyist activity, done by part time filmmakers with no interest in developing a mainstream audience or careers.  But now well made indie films by serious filmmakers who promote their work are getting a lot of views - over 100,000 - on YouTube.  Here are two: my movie - fiction feature - Cosmic Disco Detective Rene, and Jason Horton's Who They Are feature documentary.   *
