The Duke City Shootout is a week-long digital filmmaking competition dedicated to melding technology, creativity and education to produce and promote the next generation in filmmaking. The Duke City Shootout is the only filmmaking festival that provides filmmakers with the opportunity to fully produce their short scripts in seven days. For our 10th Shootout in 2010, we're adding the production of music videos to our competition!
Scripts and music video submissions are selected through an international competition. Winning writers and musicians are provided travel stipends to get to Albuquerque, New Mexico, given a full production crew, equipment, and a professional mentor to bring their stories and music videos to life through digital, high-definition production. The week will culminate with the Gala Premiere Night on Jul. 31, 2010 at the Popejoy Hall in Albuquerque. All short films and music videos will be screened and awards given out, including the Palm de Grease for best picture.
Winning scripts and music video treatments will be announced on or around June 7, 2010. Pre-production will begin immediately after winners are announced. The 2010 Duke City Shootout will begin production at 8 am, Sat. Jul. 24, 2010, and wrap post-production at 8 am, Sat. Jul. 31, 2010. Judging will occur Sat. Jul. 31, 2010 with awards announced at the Gala Premiere Night on Sat. Jul. 31, 2010.
The Duke City Shootout is hosted by the Digital Filmmaking Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, dedicated to advancing the art and technology of digital filmmaking through training and innovative competitions. This year's mentors and judges will be announced at a future date. Past mentors and judges have included such luminaries as Morgan Freeman, Tom Waits, Peter Fonda, Phyllis Diller, Talia Shire, Patricia Cardoso, Dan Mirvish, Michael Steinberg, Ellen Sandler, Donal Logue, Jim Mercurio, Tracy Mercer, Debbie Denise, Linda Goldstein and Barry Alexander Brown.
