60sec Knight & Day

We were inspired to make this movie because of all the fun action scenes and humour. Director Erica Harrington plays June Havens in this action packed film about a girl caught up in a twist of fate. No0b Film Editor Dawid Matyga plays Roy Miller who is a secret agent on a mission. We shared some bruses making this film but it was an interesting first attemt for the both of us.

"Buried" in 60 Seconds

Remake of the suspensful thriller, Buried. We chose to film this as our 60 second remake for a few reasons. FIrst off, we had the resources and space to build a box big enough for the actor to capture the actual anxiety of what it would be like to be buried 6 feet under. It wasnt so much that he nee

Virgin Radio Fake Film Festival-Kicking and Screaming in 60 seconds

Posted By Hayley On 1/24/2011 3:48:57 PM

Kicking and Screaming in 60 seconds

Directed by: Cheryl McKnight and her daughter. Starring: Bjarne and the Gators soccer team. I love making films and music videos, so I decided to enter this festival. I was inspired by the comedy, soccer, and heart all included in Kicking and Screaming. I also chose it because of its family-friendly feeling and Will Ferrell's charm and comedy.

Fake Film Festival FAQs

 
Q What is the deadline for my Fake Film Submission?
A The deadline is NOON, Pacific Time, on January 25th. After which time no further films will be accepted in order to ensure that late submissions get a fair rating, the rating mechanism will remain in effect until 5pm PST, January 25th.

Q Does the whole film have to fit inside the :60 seconds?
A Yes, credits and all. If it's over :60 it won't be eligible. But because there can be discrepancies with the time coded on our site versus the youtube site (ours seems to add one second), the official time will be the time displayed when the film is viewed on youtube.

Q Are all of the films currently on the website eligible for the $10,000 prize?

A Not exactly. We'll post anything anyone submits, provided it falls within our guidelines of good taste (think family-friendly) … Some of the submissions currently posted do not meet all the criteria for consideration (due to use of copyright footage, length, non-inclusion of Fake Film Fest graphic etc.)

Q Can there be swearing in my movie?
A We request that you bleep out any profanity. Ours is a family friendly website, so we can't have foul language on it.

Q Who are the judges?
A The judges panel will be revealed toward the end of the contest, but the panel is made up of some station staff, plus a handful of local film critics from other media.

Q How will the top films be judged?
A On our website is a voting mechanism for each film. The top 20 films based on this voting mechanism will be "scored" by the judges panel. The score is based on a compilation of three separate scores. First we'll determine whether your film is a) entertaining (ie good) and b) accurate to the original (can we tell what movie this is about?) The third score is about how hard you work to "promote" your film. This will be judged by Virgin Radio's Promotions Director. You could make posters, create a facebook fan page or website... Basically you'll want to drive traffic to our website to get people to vote for you. We just need to see how hard you worked at this.

Q How many movies can I submit?

A Only one per person.

Q Can my kids submit a movie?
A Unfortunately no. They can participate in your film, but the official submitter must be over the age of 19, as the finale is being held in a licensed establishment.

Q Do I have to include the Virgin Radio Fake Film Fest Logo?
A Yes. But feel free to be creative about how you include it. Just make sure it's in there somewhere.
