Dear Filmmaker,

The DC Shorts Film Festival is happy to announce that we have opened
the submission process for the 2007 competition -- September 13 - 20.

We have added two new competitions

- a special HD category presented by Discovery HD network --
and with a $500 cash prize and a chance at having your film air on
their network!

- a short film screenwriting competition sponsored by Final
Draft. FInalists will have their work performed in front of a live
audience, and the winner will receive $3,000 to complete their film!

Of course, we still have the General Shorts category (all genres, all
styles, all themes), and the Canadian Shorts program which screens at
the Canadian Embassy.

This year, we also plan on expanding your parties, events (workshops
on screenwriting, HD production), and have revamped the filmmaker
lounge into a relaxing oasis inside the theater complex!

Submissions are being accepted through April 30 -- and discounts are
available for early birds students and Withoutabox members.

More information about the categories, rules and our philosophy is
online at http://dcshorts.com

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing what you have recently produced!

- Jon Gann
Festival Director
