CALL FOR MUSIC VIDEOS
2003 Ohio Independent Film Festival

For Immediate Release: April 17, 2003

Contact: Annetta Marion or Bernadette Gillota, Co-Artistic and
Executive Directors, (216) 651-7315

The Ohio Independent Film Festival (OIFF) is one of the leading
independent film events in Ohio. 2003 marks the 10th anniversary of
the OIFF. The festival is celebrating this anniversary by adding
independently-produced music videos to its growing list of special
programming and workshops. The OIFF is held every November in
Cleveland, Ohio, and is designed to serve unsigned, minority, and
underprivileged filmmakers.

Call for music videos: The OIFF is seeking edgy, envelope-pushing
collaborations between music groups and filmmakers or music groups
that are comprised of filmmakers. Foreign entries and works from new
artists are highly encouraged. The OIFF is also encouraging entries
that tell a story or contain unique, creative content.

In addition to a screening at the annual OIFF, entries will be
considered for display at Independent Pictures' "Summer Crush"
benefit, Saturday August 2 at Cleveland's premier rock and roll
club—The Odeon in the Flats. All music video entries will be
considered for screening at this additional event at no additional
fee. "Summer Crush" is sponsored by the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and Museum and Kodak, among other supporters
(http://www.ohiofilms.com/2003SummerCrush/index.html).

Deadlines to submit music videos for the 2003 Ohio Independent Film
Festival are: JUNE 1; JULY 1 (late fee). Please call (216) 651-7315,
email OhioIndieFilmFest@... or visit www.ohiofilms.com for film
and video entry information (please note "music video" on
page two of the film entry form).
