If you like a good challenge — and work well on a deadline — the Sylvania Arts Commission's latest brainchild might be right up your alley. The Tree City Film Festival, a 50-hour film challenge — slated for Friday, March 8- Sunday, March 10; participants are given two days to write, shoot and edit a short movie – is readying for this first annual event held in downtown Sylvania. Teams, which must register by February 22, receive "particulars" of mandatory film content on March 8, then are required to turn in their project March 10. The films will be shown at select yet-to-be-announced locations in Downtown Sylvania on Saturday, April 13, with winning teams receiving cash prizes.
Entry fees are $35 for non-students and $25 for students (per team). For more info, visit www.sylvaniaarts.org/film/tree-city-film-festival. —SR
