Canadian Film Centre conducts Reel Challenge contest
By Adnews Staff
The Toronto-based Canadian Film Centre has begun a contest promotion called "The Reel Challenge." The promotion invites Canadian filmmakers to submit 60-second videos illustrating the ways in which movies contribute to the economy. The grand prize winner will receive $10,000, while the runner-up will receive $5,000. The contest, which is operating online at <http://www.thereelchallenge.ca>, will run until Jan. 26, 2014.
"Initiatives like The Reel Challenge are important because they highlight the sheer volume of people working to make movies happen," said Slawko Klymkiw, CEO of the Canadian Film Centre. "There are jobs beyond the director and the star that often go unnoticed. Without all the individuals involved, our economy would not be as vibrant as it is today."
The contest is being conducted in association with the Copyright Collective of Canada. It is being administered by IThentic.
