Nate Weinstein,
Marketing Manager . Just watched the Panic Attack video.
Why do I like working in
the YouTube team so much ? One of the reasons is the opportunity to introduce talented people to a
huge audience. Today,
together with Ridley Scott, Scott Free London, the Venice Film Festival and Emirates , we are launching the Thy Movie international competition .
The winner will receive a grant from YouTube for $ 500 thousand to create a
new film that the whole world will see. Watch the video with a brief description of the project: The
rules for participation are simple. Beginning February 2, send to the
contest website Youtube.com/yourfilmfestivalYour video stories with a duration of
less than 15 minutes. Anyone over 18
years old can take part . Any styles and genres are welcome. It's up to you to decide what it will be: a
short film, an animated or a documentary film, an episode of a web series, a
pilot series of a TV project, etc. Your video must have a plot, and it must
be created no earlier than January 1, 2010. The rules of the competition can be
found on the official channel of the project .
By June 2012, the Scott Free team will determine the
semi-finalists by selecting the 50 best videos from around the world. Next, the YouTube community
will openly vote on the top 10 entries. They will be shown on the Venetian
