Friends and neighbors of BIG in Brookline, MA know about their 11 Day Film Spring for filmmaking teams. In February, this community media hub launched a new storytelling contest for works that span multiple forms of media. In this new contest, people can write either a screenplay for a short film, the opening to a podcast, or even a story that one can follow on location in augmented reality (AR).
The winner for each category will receive BIG’s support through the use of equipment, space, and some staff time to create their piece in either of the three media during 2018: a film, a full-length recorded podcast, and an AR experience that the entire Brookline community can enjoy around town.
Everyone in Brookline and neighboring communities is welcome to write and submit original content for this contest. Participants may write content for more than one category. There are no age restrictions and no prior screenwriting, AR, or podcasting experience required.
Brookline Interactive Group’s executive director, Kathy Bisbee, believes this contest provides a great new opportunity for Brookline community members to express their creativity and work collaboratively with others. “We want to hear your stories shared in these traditional and emerging media formats. We encourage everyone to participate and learn more about media creation and storytelling, using the resources of BIG and this fun contest.”
Deadline for complete submissions: Sunday, April 1 at 11:59 pm.
