Calling All Carleton Filmmakers

TVO is reaching out to aspiring filmmakers at Carleton University to introduce their Doc Studio Contest.

The inaugural Doc Studio Contest invites students, accomplished and amateur filmmakers to hone their cinematic skills to create an interview-based short documentary masterpiece that can be visually told in five minutes or less. The challenge is to capture the essence of your subject to reveal ‘Life in 5’ – a memorable moment, a shift in perception, a secret no one else could uncover.

Submissions should be inspired by the style of Alan Zweig (Vinyl, I Curmudgeon, Lovable, A Hard Name) and will be accepted until February 27, 2012.

The winner of the contest will win a grand prize consisting of:

-A mentoring session (of up to eight hours total) with Genie award-winning filmmaker Alan Zweig
-A television broadcast of your short documentary on TVO, tvo.org and TVO’s YouTube Channel
-A Hot Docs 2012 industry pass (approximate retail value of $500.00)
