Columbia 72hr. Filmmaker Showdown
FILMMAKERS! REGISTRATION AND CONTEST DETAILS HERE!
ATTN: FILMMAKERS!!
Mandatory Director's Meeting at Tapley's Pub (directly across from the Whistler Conference Centre) Friday, April 16, 2010, 8:30am.
This event is SOLD OUT! The only 50 remaining tickets for sale will be available at the Whistler Activity Centre on Friday, April 9 @ 10am. Purchase of Filmmaker tickets is limited to four tickets per person.
72 hours. Three rotations of the Earth on its axis. Enough time (just) for teams of manic filmmakers to shoot, edit and produce 3-5 minute digital films within a 100km radius of Whistler.
Skeptical? Consider: the screening of the 8 finalists is one of the hottest tickets at the annual TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival. Featured films have gone on to enjoy global media exposure and attract cult followings.
Believe in the power of an all-consuming deadline. Of a no-holds-barred creative frenzy. Of a crowd of 1800 chanting your name. Of $15,000 in prizes.
The Muses have been booked. Enter Whistler’s 8th 72 Hour Filmmaker Showdown today.
All completed films will get their moment on the big screen, with the Filmmaker Second Cuts screening playing the ultimate movie marathon on Wednesday April 21.

Does any body know if crapneto/robjn taylor enterered a film in this?
Big props out to Jonny Fleet & Crew for winning 72hr Filmmaker Showdown People's Choice Award. They definitely won the hearts of the crowd on Tuesday night with their film THE WAR OF 1910 AND/OR 1924! $1000 CASH and the love and admiration of a 1500 strong audience ain't bad at all.
Congratulations goes out for Joe Gaetani, Alex Adrian & Chris Zimmerman for winning the 2010 72hr Filmmaker Showdown with their film PANTY BLOOM. They walked away with $5000 CASH, $3000 worth of kick ass art from State of the ART and plenty of wicked prizing.
WOW, good for you!!
This is ridiculous. 72 hours to make a 3-5 minute film? I've done the Reelfast 48-hr filmmaking competition 6 times. That's 48 hours to make a 10-minute film with a maximum of 10 people. I've also done a 4 minute film in 24 hours. This competition is way too easy.

That address is for N2N Talent Agency. Also Alec Baldwin's agent.

Great suggestion Viktor. I'll give Tom a shout and let you know how it goes ;) Until next year we'll be bringing up Jerry Wasserman, Glen Schaefer, Kevin Eastwood, Lori Triolo & Fred Ewanuik to judge! You can check out their credits on IMDB.com.
If you haven't yet, you should invite Tom Selleck to be a guest judge for the 72hr Filmmaker Showdown. He could then go to Sushi Village on Wednesday and preside over the Magnum PI Mustache Night.
