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.
