Reason #13 to attend Mountain-Con 4

Reason #13 to attend Mountain-Con:
Fan Film Festival

Fan films have been gaining in popularity lately with the use of the Internet and sites such as You Tube. Some fan films, such as James Cawley and company's "New Voyages" series (now known as "Star Trek: Phase II") have become very popular and have encouraged others to try their hand at film making.

One of the things that Mountain-Con is excited to bring to our attendees this year is the "Mountain-Con Fan Film Festival". This film festival showcases professional and amateur movies, videos, and such made by you...the fan.

You can get the entry form by navigating to our Web site (www.mountaincon.org), clicking on "Downloads" and then choosing the Mountain-Con 4 Film Festival Entry Form.

The rules for submitting an entry to the Mountain-Con 4 Film Festival are as follows:

  • Categories:
    • Sci-Fi
    • Horror
    • Fake Trailers (any genre)
    • Fantasy
    • Music Video
    • Student Sumbission (17 years old or younger, with parental permission)
  • Runtime must not exceed 20 minutes.
    • Films longer than 20 minutes will be shown, but not judged.
  • All films must be REGION ZERO DVD for screening. (It is much easier to view on DVD this way.)
  • No "R" rated content, pervasive adult content, or other objectionable material. Mountain-Con reserves the right to judge all material, and all such judgments are final.
  • All entries must have a signed admission form submitted with the entry as permission to be able to judge and/or show the film at Mountain-Con. If it is a student film submission, the submission form must also be signed by a Parent or Legal Guardian.
  • Mountain-Con is not responsible for any lost, missing, or damaged films/DVDs. All films/DVDs become the property of Mountain-Con upon submission. If you wish to have your film/DVD returned, you must provide a self-addressed package (including proper postage). Mountain-Con also reserves the right to use submissions in future festivals, on compilation DVDs, and for other promotional purposes.
  • Note: Mountain-Con staff are allowed to submit entries, but their entries will not be judged.

So...what are you waiting for? Get that fan video you made into the hands of our judges a.s.a.p., and come join us for a unique experience this September!

(Reminder: Pre-sale tickets for an adult, 3-day Mountain-Con VI pass are $40. After August 31st, we will discontinue the pre-sale registration and sell tickets at the door for $45.)
