If
you’re a young or emerging director looking to advance your filmmaking career
by showcasing your work to the world, don’t miss your chance to be part of the
ADFEST 2020 Fabulous Five and take the stage at ADFEST. To
enter, simply write a short film script (max. 5 minutes in length) inspired by
the theme ‘Fired Up!’ – which is all about that fire in your belly that urges
you to say your piece, and the creative energy that fuels you to change things
for the better. If
your script is one of the top five scripts as voted by ADFEST’s Film Craft Lotus & New Director Lotus jury,
you’ll be invited to make your film for a premiere at ADFEST 2020, which runs
from 18th to 21st
March 2020 in Pattaya, Thailand.
All Fabulous Five directors will be flown to Thailand to present their film and
discuss the inspiration behind it: ADFEST will provide return economy airfare, ground transportation,
accommodation, and a full delegate registration to ADFEST 2020. “The
Fabulous Five program has been running since 2008. Today, it remains one of the
only platforms designed to fast-track the careers of emerging commercial
filmmakers in our region. I’m proud to say that many of our industry’s award-winning
directors got their first big break as a Fabulous Five director – don’t miss
the chance to make your big break into the commercial filmmaking sector,”
explains Jimmy Lam, President of ADFEST.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE? Directors
and Assistant Directors based in Asia Pacific and the Middle East are eligible
to submit scripts to the Fabulous Five. For Directors, you must have started
your filmmaking career after March 2018. This means by March 2020, when ADFEST
takes place, you will have no more than
two years’ of professional experience as a Director. Scripts
must be submitted online here
by 3rd January 2020. Your script will be sent anonymously to ADFEST’s Film
Craft & New Director jury, and those with the highest scores will be
notified by ADFEST in early 2020. After directing the short film based on the
script submitted, you’ll be invited to present your film at the Fabulous Five
session on Thursday 19th March 2020. ADFEST
2020 runs from 18th to 21st
March 2020 at PEACH, Royal Cliff
Hotels Group in Pattaya, Thailand. Find out everything you need to know about
the Fabulous Five program here.
