Earlier in the year I had the great pleasure of hosting the premiere of The Voices Project, an exciting new writing and filmmaking endeavour from the Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp). There I was delighted to introduce the screenings of Boot and Bat Eyes and hold a Q&A with the inspiring creative team.
Fast forward a couple of months and this pair of short films are two of six Australian short films selected for the semi-finals YouTube's Your Film Festival. So this evening I'm thrilled to be chatting once again to the charming director Damien Power, as well as fellow semi-finalist Maziar Lahooti.
Both are AFTRS grads - how's that for a homecoming! I hope you'll come along, as well as VOTE for their wonderful films.
**Update! We'll also be joined via Skype with another AFTRS grad and semi-finalist, Alex Murawski. You can watch (and vote!) for his short Kiss HERE.Ridley Scott, Michael Fassbender and YouTube want to give short filmmakers a shot at the big time and 15,000 shorts have been whittled down to 50 semi-finalists, all vying to make the top 10 for a chance to screen their creations at the Venice Film Festival.
The grand prize is $500,000 for a new project to be produced by Ridley Scott and Michael Fassbender.Joining us to talk about the creative ins and outs of short filmmaking and this extraordinary online opportunity are Damien Power and Maziar Lahooti who both have had projects shortlisted - Boot and Bat Eyes, and Good Pretender respectively.
