Press Release: 11.03.02 (Greetings from the Beach) ------------------- Dear Screenwriters (especially), We have decided that you may *EMAIL* us your screenplay (entries) for Key West IndieFest 2003 (April 18 - 21) - if you want! ---------- REGISTER YOUR ENTRY ONLINE (FIRST): http://keywestindiefest.com Just click "Year 2003 Entry Forms" - and you are on your way! ----------- THEN: EMAIL your script (as an ATTACHMENT) - as either a PDF File (*preferred* method, using Adobe Acrobat) - or, as a WORD File. NO *TEXT* files, please - for the script formatting gets all 'screwed up'. ---------- COMPRESS Your File BEFORE Sending: If you may - please COMPRESS your LARGE screenplay file - so, that the TRANSFER of your data is FASTER. We use STUFFIT EXPANDER - to *OPEN* compressed/large files - so, to *COMPRESS* large files - use DROP STUFF (which IS a *compression* program). ---------- REGARDING VIRUSES: As well - PLEASE make-sure that the Screenplay file you are *emailing* us is VIRUS-FREE! IF you send a file that contains a VIRUS - YOU will be held *accountable* - so, please be aware of this. ---------- MAKES SENSE: Emailing us your screenplay entries will: 1) Keep YOUR costs down - ie. no (paper) copying/binding, no mailing and postage expense (etc), and 2) Will make it EASIER for us (the festival) to ASSIGN your screenplay entries to our staff of previewers! All ELECTRONICALLY! (Yippee) However - if you still want to *mail* a (physical) PAPER entry - that is just-fine (to the address below). 2-3 day Priority Mail is recommended (if you do) ---------- ENTRY FEE PAYMENT: Paying your entry fee with a CREDIT CARD would-be the 'easiest and most-efficient' way - because then we may *assign* your (electronically) received script *immediately* to our preview staff. Otherwise - you may send a check or money order to: Key West IndieFest 2003 1107 Key Plaza #136 Key West, FL 33040 and, once we RECEIVE your entry fee - we will THEN assign it to the festival's 'preview and selection process! Whichever works best for you - of course. ---------- CALL FOR ENTRIES DEADLINES: So, send them on - and, *remember* that our Official "Call for Entries" ENDS on November 30, 2002. LAST "Call For Entries" runs December 1 - 31 (2002) -- and entry fees will be an *additional* $10.00. So - enter SOON - and SAVE (even MORE) money! ---------- Meanwhile - we hope this message finds you well! Film and Write On, Michael Carr Director: Telluride and Key West IndieFest http://tellurideindiefest.com http://keywestindiefest.com Showcasing the *best* independent films and screenplays in the world - high in the mountains, and by the sea! p.s. Once TECHNOLOGY (ie.
