Filmaka Launches Red Bull Competition

Today Filmaka launched its Red Bull competition looking for creative and stimulating shorts around the theme “Vibrations” for Red Bull’s x13 series! Let your imagination run wild as this competition is all about creating a short that inspires you - make a film that's narrative, documentary, non-linear, experimental, or any combination of the above. Use any visual style - animated, grainy film, crisp video, drawn, photographed, painted-onto-the-celluloid - we don't care! Just make sure it's a roller-coaster ride of a movie.

Winners will have a chance to win up to $3000. 18 cutting-edge clips will be chosen for the first cut and those filmmakers will receive $1000 each. The final films will be narrowed to 13, and will receive another $2000.

Submission Guidelines

- Red Bull is starting another round in its x13 series of provocative shorts! This round's theme is VIBRATIONS.

- Three important things - when you submit your film to us, it must be less than 2 and a half minutes long, in 16:9 aspect ratio (wide screen) and in High Definition Video. This is because your film may be played on Red Bull TV or distributed in other ways.

- 18 cutting-edge clips will be chosen for the first cut. Those 18 filmmakers will receive $1000 each. The final films will be narrowed to 13, and will receive another $2000.

- Submissions are due by August 17.
