FOUR 8 FILM FESTIVAL

SCRIPT TO SCREEN IN 48 HOURS

8 - 11 MARCH 2013

The 2013 Four 8 Film Festival Weekend attracted over 9 teams and 100 spectators!

At the launch Leandro Palacio, ABC Open Producer for Northern Tasmania conducted a Q &A with 2012 winner, Tim Cooper with his film Inches Away. Tim and Leandro discussed the trials and tribulations of creating a short film within a tight deadline. Tim also gave away some great tips and links to free copyright-free music.

All the team’s films who finished by the deadline were shown on the big screen at CMAX, Devonport. This was a free event that gave the filmmakers a chance to see all their hard work on an impressive scale. The Screening on Monday night was MC’D by Sea FM personalities, Lee and Dayna.

Lee and Dayna also undertook the Four 8 challenge and created a hilarious short based on the core statement – ‘All in a days work’ and a measuring tape as the prop. Take a look at what they came up with HERE

Teams were judged by Leandro Palacio and a couple of our Droogs, Laura and Indea. Each team was rated on how best they used their core statement and prop.

The results of the Judges deliberations were as follows:

Winner: Into the Wild by Third Take

Runner up: The Construction by Forged Flicks

Best Soundtrack: Shake Well by Emmark Studios

Best script: No Go Zone by Kelli and the crew

Congratulations to all the teams that participated in this year’s festival and a big thank you to all of our sponsors that made Four 8 possible for yet another year.

Fire Appeal - Art Equipment

Several artists living in the SE areas of Tasmania devastated by fire have lost their homes and studios. It is hard to imagine how they must be feeling at the moment. For many of these artists equipment, materials and artworks have been destroyed and for many, this is their livelihood.

How can people help? Firstly you can make a donation of money and drop it in to the Devonport City Council or you can drop art supplies into the Devonport Regional Gallery. The Gallery will collect items such as art paper, drawing books, photography paper, pencils, paints, brushes, clay. We will keep this running for a few weeks before distributing to artists. Drop off between 10am and 5pm Monday to Friday and weekends 1-4pm.
