The Screen Actors Guild Foundation is now accepting submissions for its September 2012 Shorts Showcase. The deadline is Aug. 24. All entries received after that date will be placed in contention for the January 2013 event. There is no entry fee, nor is there a cost to attend the screening, which is held in NYC three times a year. All shorts must be produced under a SAG union contract and not run over 15 minutes. The showcase is open to all types of cinematic expression and is designed to encourage union members and others to create their own projects. In addition to the screening, the evening includes a Q&A with the directors and producers and networking opportunities with other attendees. Filmmakers may submit a DVD copy of their film, along with the project's SAG production number, to SAG Foundation Shorts Showcase, Screen Actors Guild, 360 Madison Ave., 12th fl., NYC, NY 10017.
