Fruitcake Film Festival

Greensboro, NC

December 21, 2004

When the guys at the Triad Indie Film Network say "short," they mean short. This Christmas-themed "Short Shorts" festival, scheduled for the Green Bean in downtown Greensboro Dec. 21, invites films ranging from 3 minutes (the longest) to 10 seconds!

To make things still more challenging, the categories have wacky themes. In the Fruitcake category, films must star a fruitcake. Other categories include:

A' Caroling (your Christmas musical)
We Spoof You a Merry Christmas (spoofs of Christmas films)
The 12 Holiday Props [films must feature a dozen weird things: a wrapped present, dreidel, maize (corn), mistletoe, wreath, eggnog, ham, Santa Hat, stocking, holiday lights, straw placemat, sufganiyot (fried jelly doughnut)]

Write a script that includes all these if you can! First time filmmakers are encouraged to submit.

The festival itself begins at 8pm and admission is free.
