Short film could lead to success
NBC is always on the look out for talent behind and in front of the camera. And one place the network execs look is the Third Annual Comedy Short Cuts Film Festival.
The film festival is a showcase for short, comedic films with culturally diverse production teams, casts or themes. Submissions for the event sponsored by NBC Universal will be accepted through Aug. 15.
Films selected for the semifinals will be screened before an industry audience in New York in September in conjunction with the New York Television Festival. Finalists will be sent to Los Angeles for an exclusive industry screening in October at Universal Studios.
The winning filmmaker will have the opportunity to meet with NBC Universal’s top network, studio, cable, and film executives to pitch their projects and ideas. Additional prizes and opportunities are also up for grabs.
At last year’s festival, the film “A Fat Girl’s Guide To Yoga” captured top honors and a blind script commitment with Universal Media Studios. Tajamika Paxton, former film executive at MTV Films and Gregory M.T. Colleton, the writing/directing team created the comical short about Wendy, an oversized African-American woman, and her yoga journey to lose weight.
