Film makers, your audience awaits.
Entries are sought now for the first-ever Online New England Film Festival, presented by NewEnglandFilm.com.
Planned to be an annual event, filmmakers can choose from the following categories: animation, children/family, comedy, documentary, and drama. Showcase launch of selected films is Sept. 1, 2009 through Oct. 16, 2009.
The films will be selected by NewEnglandFilm.com staff and a festival jury.
In addition, festival organizers partnered with Women in Film Video New England to jury a special category New England Women Above the Line for films under 30 minute produced, directed, or written by a woman, or women based in New England.
During the online festival, viewers will be able to post comments on films, share films with friends, and vote on favorites.
An awards ceremony and screening will take place the weekend of Oct. 17, 2009 in Boston, Mass.
In 2006, Connecticut established a tax credit to bolster the in-state film industry by allowing productions spending at least $50,000 to receive a credit on up to 30% of their costs on all goods, services, and labor. Consult the official Digital Media and Motion Picture Tax Credit Guidelines for a list of eligibility requirements.
