Press Release: 01.05.02 (Greetings From Planet Telluride) ------------------------ Dear Independent Filmmakers, Screenwriters, and Indie Cinema Aficanados, We have *moved* our festival dates to *coincide* with the world-renown Telluride Film Festival! The *new* dates for Telluride IndieFest 2002 are: August 30 - September 1 (over the Labor Day Weekend). ------------- What is the 'difference' between the two festivals? The Telluride Film Festival is not an independent film festival - it is more of an 'arts cinema' event - and, it *requires* 'premieres' of all selected films (and does not include screenplays). Telluride IndieFest (on the other hand) showcases the best *independent* films and screenplays in the world - and does *not* require films to 'premiere' at its event. ------------- Telluride IndieFest 2002 Entry Forms are NOW Available! Please go to the festival's web site at: http://tellurideindiefest.com and click on "Year 2002 Entry Forms". If you may - please use the *online* entry form - for it *greatly* simplifies the entire entry process! ------------- Significant Dates: Entry Deadline: June 1, 2002 (*received* by the festival - not 'postmarked'). Entry *Selection* Announcement: August 1, 2002 ------------- Important Note: We are (again) *limiting* entries to 1000 (total of all films, videos, and screenplays) - so enter EARLY - and take advantage of *reduced* entry fees! As well - once we *receive* 1000 entries we may close the event (to any further entries). ------------- See you during the *beautiful* Telluride Summer! We look forward to your participation in Telluride IndieFest 2002 - an event that remains *dedicated* to the spirit and advancement of *independent* filmmaking and screenwriting worldwide! Film and Write On, Michael Carr Founder/Director: Telluride IndieFest http://tellurideindiefest.com Showcasing the *best* independent films and screenplays in the world! ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
