For the fourth consecutive year, the University of South Florida will be participating in Campus MovieFest (CMF), the world’s largest student film festival and outlet for the next generation of filmmakers.
The launch started last Thursday for USF students and faculty members to pick up all the equipment they need for free – a Panasonic HD camera, Mac Laptop, microphone, and tripod – to make a five-minute movie in just a week. The top 16 films, chosen by a panel of judges assembled from USF students, faculty and staff, will premiere at the school finale Feb 24.
Of those 16, three will be chosen in the categories of “Best Comedy,” “Best Picture” and “Best Drama” to move on to the international finale in Hollywood this summer. Winners will also receive an iPod and copies of Final Cut Studio.
