Blowtorch Entertainment is a new film studio that wants to make stuff like Napoleon Dynamite. They want to make hit films that are big with the college crowd. Inside jokes and the like. They do something really cool at the beginning of their films: They show a few short films created by average people. Everybody votes on those films and the top one is chosen. The creator is flown to their studio to watch and help in creating a the real thing all professional like.

The current contest is to create a short with the theme being anything at all related to “TECHNOLOGY.” Internet dating, killer robot vacuums, used time machine salesmen…whatever. The deadline is December 27, 2007.

I’ll be bringing this information to my editing class, and will hopefully be making something to submit for myself. They say it doesn’t have to be very well put together, but I think the better it looks, the more people will vote for it. I also would want to use it to post on Broken Fork as well.
