Correspondência de Hollywood 2009 Very Short Movies Festival Attention: All 2008 VSM Festival finalists
Dear VSM finalist,
Congratulations for your selection as nominee for the coming VSM Festival. Your selection is already the demonstration of your talented creativity as a filmmaker. We are proud to have you and your film joining VSM list of high quality past winners. Last year the online VSM Festival generated 1.3M hits from 92 countries during one month. Filmmakers spoke and we listened. They suggested giving a greater emphasis to the global exposure. This year we are improving the online VSM Festival format again. Voting is key to web traffic and film exposure. Instead of reaching out during one month only, it was decided to expand the online Festival competition for nine months. A worldwide audience will screen, review and vote 24/7 between April 1, 2009 and December 31,2009. Viewers will select the winners in each category. A worldwide jury will select the best movie of the Festival. In mid-January 2010, VSM Festival will close with an Award Ceremony in Hollywood that will include the Open Access, presentation of the Awards and screening of the Awards winners. Subject to sponsorship agreements, winners will receive cash and in-kind awards. The Jury Award will include the prestigious VSM Festival statuette. All 48 selected finalists films will be encoded and streamed during the nine months Festival without any charge to the filmmakers. Viewers and Jury from every corner of the planet will be screening free of charge the films in hi-res, full screen and TV-ready quality. In order to be ready to launch the online competition on April 1st, we need to receive your best copy for free encoding by March 10, 2009. After that date, we will use your preview DVD. Follow the instructions and specs in the attached pdf. Please have all email correspondence to Imediasee copied to VSM at the address below. Despite today’s rough economy, we want to thank you for finding the resources to produce a film of high-quality level. On our end, we remain committed to pursue our philanthropic mission to present talented emerging filmmakers to the world.
In creative partnership, Serge Polakoff, Founder and CEO
