Hi. My name's Darren Aronofsky
and I'm the director of a new film |
| 00:00:08 |
00:00:12 |
called "The Wrestler", starring Mickey Rourke,
that comes out December 19th. |
| 00:00:13 |
00:00:16 |
My first film "Pi" won the directing award
at the Sundance film festival in 1998. |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:19 |
Being at Sundance was a great experience
and that's why I'm excited to announce |
| 00:00:20 |
00:00:24 |
the return of Youtube short film competition.
2009 marks the 25th anniversary |
| 00:00:24 |
00:00:29 |
of the Sundance film festival, and 25 years
of celebrating original story telling. |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:33 |
So this year, AOL moviefone,
Sundance film festival and Youtube |
| 00:00:33 |
00:00:37 |
have partnered to bring you a unique
challenge: create your own short film, |
| 00:00:37 |
00:00:40 |
no more than 5 minutes long,
incorporating 3 specific props. |
| 00:00:40 |
00:00:43 |
Choose 2 props from classic Sundance
festival films |
| 00:00:44 |
00:00:46 |
and a red telephone.
|
| 00:00:47 |
00:00:48 |
The Sundance film festival
will choose 10 finalists |
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:51 |
and the Youtube community
will vote for a final winner. |
| 00:00:52 |
00:00:55 |
If that's you, you and a guest will
be thrown to the 2009 Sundance film festival |
| 00:00:56 |
00:00:59 |
in Park City, Utah, this January
where you'll get a chance to screen your film |
| 00:00:59 |
00:01:02 |
for an audience, and to meet
with the festival's director of programming. |
| 00:01:03 |
00:01:06 |
And the winning film, plus 2 runner ups,
will be distributed on DVD |
| 00:01:07 |
00:01:10 |
to industry executives at the festival.
Remember not to show any brand names or logos |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:13 |
in your films. We just need to see your 3 props
and your story. |
| 00:01:14 |
00:01:18 |
You have until December to submit your film
at youtube.com/projectdirect |
| 00:01:18 |
00:01:22 |
Good luck, and I hope to see you at the movies
on December 19th for the Wrestler. |
