Moviehouse 3rd Anniversary Call for Submissions 

Time to start thinking about the movie you're going to make for Moviehouse's 3rd Anniversary Party on Sunday, February 14, 2010!

How can you participate? It’s easy! Just get your friends together and make a three-minute romantic video (it is Valentine’s Day, after all) that follows these three simple guidelines.

  1.  The movie should include one or more of the three    wise monkeys (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil)
  2. The movie should include celebrity death (which always come in 3s).
  3. The movie should include something uncontrollable.

Anyone is eligible to make a movie. In fact, first time filmmakers are especially encouraged to make one. Your film will be screened alongside those by the Moviehouse staff and our favorite filmmakers in our 3rd Ward screening room.
 
Finished films are due by February 7. You can send them to Moviehouse at 3rd Ward, 195 Morgan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237 or by email to moviehousebk@gmail.com.
