CAYOM Festival - Year 7 - Three-Month Funeral triumphs

[riczhang]

So can we still screen out of competition?

Only for Panel members. Though if you post a film before hand and don't submit it for consideration I don't think anyone would mind.

[riczhang]

Yep. If there are players ready to have more than one film, why not. An opening or closing film would work nicely.

Would Opening and Closing be in competition or OOC?

I'm assuming either.

 

If that's the case, make Amulet the closing film. End it with a bang.

[Blankments]

I'd love for my Scorcese film to open the contest if I finish it in time. TMF will compete in it though.

[Blankments]

Well, if someone else has a film already finished, they can have the opening. TMF is almost done though, and I plan on spending all of Saturday morning writing my Scorcese movie. If anyone's wondering, my priorities are:

 

Three-Month Funeral

Fall of Boss Tweed

Justice League

LucIId

Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson vs. Santa Claus, Ultimate Badass

Teen Titans

everything else

First we need to see how many films will be ready. Then if someone has two then obviously that person can choose to have an AOC film for either opening or closing night. If we're following the feel of Cannes then smaller films should run for the award and more Hollywood-like films AOC. A Tarantino or Scorsese film would perfect for opening night. For instance this year Great Gatsby opens Cannes.

[Blankments]

Well, both of my OCs are Hollywood-like, but TMF is a modern day family dramedy whereas Fall of Boss Tweed is a period crime drama... TMF is more Cannes-ish, so I'll enter that one in the contest.

Also, I approached a honorable member of the forum to be the Jury and he accepted my invitation. We might get ourselves another player in the future as well.

Could I possibly get a name out of you?

[The Dark Alfred]

Soon.

Amulet is a video game movie isn't it?

The way I see it is that the three panelists would each submit a film out of competition, and then the Opening and Closing films, which are also typically out of competition, but don't have to be, would come from the other players.

 

But the panelists decide what film opens and what film closes, since we're THE PANEL after all.

 

 

So basically, Alfred, riczhang and I will need to start up a PM conversation where we'll discuss what submitted film opens, what submitted film closes, and the order in which we will present and review the other films in-between.

Regardless on whether you decide for it to open or close, I would like to submit Three-Month Funeral and Fall of Boss Tweed for this festival.

[4815162342]

Probably should start a post with a running tally of confirmed submissions:

 

The Academy (Spaghetti) (IC)

Blank (Numbers) (OOC)

The Crying of Lot 49 (riczhang) (IC)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night-Time (Alfred) (IC)

The Fall of Boss Tweed (Blank) (IC)

Spark Ignition (Spaghetti) (?)

Three Month Funeral (Blank) (IC)

Can'f wait for TMF blank.

[riczhang]

Just an observation on Cannes Opening and Closing films. The Opening film is generally more Hollywoody, Larger, and less-artsy than Cannes in general. The Closing film is almost always an auteur film. 

[Ezen Baklattan]

I'm going to spend most of tomorrow writing The Academy, but I may not finish it by Sunday, although I'm already 1.6k words in, and I can write really fast when motivated.Hopefully Spark: Ignition is considered for Opening/Closing night.

[riczhang]

I think my film will be my Michael Haneke helmed adaptation of The Crying of Lot 49. 

[The Dark Alfred]

Haneke cries out for Cannes lol I would have imagined PTA for that, though.

 

Mine will be Sam Mendes' The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.
