Attention budding filmmakers: a festival and $1,000 bucks

Two opportunities you won't want to miss.

Young filmmakers eager to see their work on a huge screen will get the opportunity in April, when Cal State Monterey Bay holds its third annual Teen Film Festival. Entries can be submitted online at by Feb. 11 for the festival to be held at CSUMB's World Theater on April 9.
Filmmakers between 13 and 19 years old are invited to submit films and videos up to five minutes in length. Entries may be in English or Spanish and there is no entry fee.
While local teenagers are encouraged to enter the competition, it's also open to teenagers from around the world.
Last year's event drew more than 200 entries; films were submitted from the Central Coast region as well as Great Britain, El Salvador and Armenia. Some of last year's entries can be viewed here.

And also some money...

The fourth annual Monterey County Film Commission scholarship and awards program for film students is now accepting applications. Forms are available at the film commission office, or may be downloaded here. Deadline to submit applications is April 30, 2011.

The recipient of the $1,000 award will be announced in May 2011.
