Call for Submissions: 10 X 10 Music Video Program
With the Music & Image Conference as part of the 25th annual Eastlink East Coast Music Week (ECMW) wrapped, the Atlantic Film Festival (AFF) and the East Coast Music Association are pleased to announce that the 10 x 10 Music Video Program will return for a third year as part of the 33rd Atlantic Film Festival Music & Image activities planned for September 13-16, 2013 in Halifax.
Also returning for its third year is the RBC 10 X 10 Emerging Artist Award, a $10,000 juried prize presented to the winning filmmaker and musician pair. This September, ten Atlantic Canadian filmmakers and ten Atlantic Canadian musicians/bands will be paired up again to produce ten music videos, over five days of on-the-ground shooting and editing. Participants will work together to develop a music video treatment, create a story board and shot list, shoot, edit and will end up with a music video that can be used by the participants as a promotional tool.
“We are delighted to offer programs like 10 x 10, which provide opportunities for filmmakers and musicians to develop unique working relationships,” said Andrea Thomas, Director of Operations for the AFF. “Through these new connections, artists can increase their exposure to attract new audiences & markets.”
“Atlantic Canada has a rich collection of talent and this competition is about advancing the professional aspirations of the region’s up-and-coming artists," said Lori Smith, Manager, Public Affairs, RBC. “RBC is proud to support the 10 x 10 Video Mentoring program, which is a valuable springboard for both filmmakers and musicians. Last year's entries were of an extremely high calibre, and we know we're in for more of the same in 2013."
