Crowdfunding Film and a Celebration of the Art Come Together at Trailer Cash

Trailer Cash 2012Trailer Cash, a party that seeks to invigorate independent filmmaking in New York by screening teasers or “trailers” of films and new media in development and awarding a donation to the winners to help complete the films, has posted a call for submissions for their 2013 event.  The celebration is scheduled for this fall in September.

Trailer Cash is a special festival, celebrating the art of crowdfunding and seeks to bring together all facets of the film business in an effort to promote films and new media currently in production or recently wrapped.

Filmmakers should submit their 3 minute or less video (trailer, teaser, crowdfunding video, pitch video) that exemplifies their project. These trailers should be short and sweet, but give the judges an in depth look at what story the filmmaker is trying to tell. The Trailer Cash submissions committee will select 12 trailers to be screened at the public viewing session September 23rd, 2013. Judges will vote on the 12 trailers and select a Trailer Cashgrand prize winner.

Additionally, one trailer will win the Audience Favorite award, voted on by the attendees.

All submission fees as well as ticket fees from the event will be awarded to the winning films. 60% of the total accrued fees will be awarded to the Jury Award winner and 40% will be awarded to the Audience Favorite. Last year’s winning film took home over $1000.

Why:
With the popularity of crowdfunding, Trailer Cash is an opportunity for filmmakers to screen snippets of their in-progress or recently completed project for an opportunity to raise additional funds for production or post production costs.

Judges:
A panel of industry experts from a variety of facets in the business will judge the films selected by the submission committee. Judges include fellow filmmakers, business executives in the industry as well as influential bloggers.

Submission details:
All videos should be submitted on the Trailer Cash website. Submissions are due no later than August 12th.
