Calling all short filmmakers!

Rootclip.com is currently seeking filmmakers who can complete Chapter 3 of the film we're creating called Chance Encounter. The last Rootclip film we produced was just premiered at the Traverse City Film festival this August.

Check out our last week's winning entry in the video below.

We wouldn't expect anybody to work for free, so for this film, Rootclip is giving away a $2,000.00 Cash Grand Prize, and each chapter winner will receive a $250 VISA Gift Card,Balance Beam from Trig Industries, Retail Value $249.50, a "Video for the Web" training DVD by VASST, Retail Value $80, and The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movies on the Cheap by Stu Maschwitz, Retail Value of $44.99. (ARV: $624.49, subject to all contest rules)

If you are new to Rootclip, here's the basic concept. We create a short video clip or "Rootclip" to start the story. You watch our video, then shoot your own rendition of what should happen next in less than 2 minutes. Once you've created your video, upload it to Rootclip.com during the submission period and compete for votes against the videos from other users. Gain the highest percentage of user and judge votes during the voting period and your video becomes the next chapter in the story.

It's easy, and most importantly, it's a lot of fun. Check out the Submission Guidelines and contest rules.
