The Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival announced a competition to
find the official trailer for the 2009 Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film
Festival. For the first time in the three-year history of the
festival, Tribeca and ESPN have created a unique competition to
find the official trailer that will be scheduled to play prior to
all of the films in this year’s festival. The 2009 Tribeca/ESPN
Sports Film Festival will take place during the Tribeca Film
Festival, April 22 through May 3, 2009.
To participate in the competition, contestants will need to shoot a
re-enactment of a scene from a classic sports film. Three scenes
from two Walt Disney pictures, Remember the Titans and Cool
Runnings, have been preselected for contestants to recreate. All
recreations of the scenes should keep within the spirit of the
original film and be under 30 seconds. A panel of Tribeca and ESPN
notables will select the top submissions and choose the final
winner. The competition began on Jan. 5 and ends on March 7.
Contestants should log on
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=tribeca/trailer/contest
to download the script pages to both films and then submit their
videos. These selected shorts will be featured on espn.com, beginning in early April
2009.
In addition to having the scene play as the official trailer for
the 2009 Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival, the grand prize winner
will receive a trip for two to New York City (including airfare and
hotel accommodations) for two nights to attend the 2009 Tribeca
Film Festival, dinner for two at the ESPN Zone, one Apple TV with
an iTunes gift certificate in the amount of $100, and a 17-inch
Apple MacBook Pro fully loaded with Leopard OS and Final Cut
Studio.
