Lights! Camera! Action! It’s Film Fest Time Again!

The RMUG-DVMUG Film Fest will be held at the Peacock Theater in Rossmoor on August 21! If you have been to one of the previous Fests in the luxurious Peacock Theater, you already know it is a match for the finest private theater around, with lush soft seats, a grand screen, and a high-quality sound system. At the Fest, you will get to view some of the excellent short films made by members of the Rossmoor and Diablo Valley Mac User Groups.

The Film Fest is a short video competition so entries are limited to five minutes in length. Any topic suitable for a general audience is welcome. The winning entry will be chosen by a vote of the audience with additional awards for editing and videography.

Entries should be submitted as QuickTime files rather than DVD movies. They can be burned on DVD-R media or Thumb Drives. The deadline for submission is July 24th. You can download a Film Fest entry form here.

Entries will be compiled into a master reel for the Fest and the DVD we make each year. Immediately following the showing of prize-winning short films, there will be a wine-and-cheese awards ceremony in the adjacent Fireside Room. Even if it’s broiling outside, you can enjoy the Fest and awards ceremony in air-conditioned comfort. Meet your friends, have a glass of wine, and savor the gourmet cheeses personally selected by our DVMUG Food SIG Leader Anne Griffin. What’s more, you can take the Fest home with you! A DVD including all the entries will be for sale for $10 at the show.

So friends, wake up the pets, line up the kids and grandkids, head out to your garden or take a photo/video vacation in Switzerland. Do whatever it takes to create a winning video for the RMUG-DVMUG Film Fest.

Even if you just come to see the films, you will be in for a treat!
