MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST ANNOUNCE $100,000 COMPETITION FOR FILMMAKERS!

Movie Extra and Screen Australia have partnered to offer budding filmmakers an extraordinary opportunity to compete in MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST with the major prize of $100,000 production budget for the winner to produce a seven part webseries for Movie Extra.

MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST encourages creatives to pitch an original webseries idea via a 60 second trailer. Filmmakers and fans are also encouraged to be part of the voting process via social media with each vote giving entries a greater chance of getting into the finals by generating a real life audience. The winner of MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST 2.0 will be decided through a combination of votes, creativity and an official MOVIE EXTRA industry judging panel.

Following the success of the inaugural MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST competition in 2010, Movie Network Channels commissioned three additional animated webseries from the 2010 entries; Shaaark!, Mollusks and Livin’ With Steve. A raft of Australian talent from Tex Perkins, Merrick Watts, Bob Franklin, Shaun Micallef and Matt Preston have come on board and lent their talents to voice some of the fantastic characters in these webseries!

MOVIE EXTRA WEBFEST opens doors. Better be quick! Entries close 23 November, 2011.
