GSFF Opening Night Writers Challenge Deadline 12/1

GSFF Opening Night Challenge:

The Garden State Film Festival is pleased to announce its first Opening Night Challenge for the most original short film to open the 7th Annual Festival.

We are asking filmmakers to submit a short film illustrating the theme, "Must be Something in the Water!" which will kick off the opening night of the festival in the historic Paramount Theater in Asbury Park. The winning entry will be announced in the March edition of this newsletter, a month before the festival.

SYNOPSIS
What makes GSFF and Asbury Park the perfect fit?

Asbury Park brings to mind the joy of the boardwalk, its history as a cultural mecca, its artists and art lovers, top notch restaurants and its jazz and rock ‘n roll heritage. Add a film festival to this vibrant mix and it's a natural or as the theme explains: "Must Be Something in the Water!"

Demonstrate your talent and creativity to visually set the theme for the festival this year.

Don't miss your chance to have your film viewed by the opening night audience in the magnificently restored
Paramount Theater.
