AtomFilms, in partnership with Lucasfilm, has announced their 2008 Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge. AtomFilms' Marketing Coordinator, Kate Zuparko, said "Star Wars fans should submit their parody, fan fiction, or mash-up (new this year: we even have a special tool for fans to create a mash-up online) by 27 May for consideration in this year's Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge. Top fan movies will be selected by AtomFilms and Lucasfilm, including George Lucas as one of the judges! Awards will be announced at San Diego Comic Con on 24 July."
The contest announcement says that they're looking for "Star Wars themed action, comedy, downright depressing, or demented video." They prefer entries to be under 5 minutes in length, parodies of the entire Star Wars universe (films, comics, and books) are fine, as are films about Star Wars fandom. They're allowing some use of Star Wars music, but no nudity, and no SAG actors. Use of the Star Wars mash-up tool on starwars.com is permitted. For more details and complete rules, see this page.
AtomFilms, a service of MTV networks, formed ten years ago as an online video site. It is now "a daily source of original weeb shows, animation, and short films." They also license and develop content from independent creators, providing "a pipeline to the big timme." Last year, they added a section called AtomUploads, which "enables users to immediately post and share their own videos, while helping [Atom] find new content that's right for commercial distribution on AtomFilms."
