Cingular Wireless Short Film Festival Call for Entries

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Calling all aspiring Hitchcocks, Spielbergs and
Scorseses! Cingular Wireless, the largest wireless carrier in the United
States, is searching for film students and young customers to create
15-second film masterpieces on their wireless phones. 

The Cingular Wireless Short Film Festival, a national initiative, is
offering cash and prizes for the best film shorts produced on video
phones. There are two separate categories-one for college film students
and the other for Cingular users ages 13 to 24. For the film student
portion, the festival will be judged by Hollywood director Brett Ratner,
a New York University film school graduate and director of nearly a
dozen films. The competition runs through Jan. 31, 2005. 

"This unique program extends the idea that Cingular not only has the
coolest products, but is also thinking outside of the box on how to use
these products," said David Garver, Executive Director of National
Acquisition for Cingular Wireless. "Who knows -- maybe our young
customers can make the leap from short films on the very small screen to
epics on the wide screen." 

To encourage participation among the film students, Cingular will
provide, on a first come, first serve basis, Motorola V551 video phones.
Film students who miss out on the loaner phones can still submit an
entry if they have access to a VMS capable phone with Cingular service.
The films can fit within different genres, including action, comedy, and
experimental. Ratner will judge the films on specific criteria,
including creativity, expression, and entertainment value. The overall
student winner will receive a Motorola V551 phone, $500 in Cingular Gift
Cards and $5,000 in cash. All submissions will be available for viewing
on the http://rucingular.com/ film short microsite:
http://rucingular.com/screeningroom . 

"The Cingular Wireless Short Film Festival provides film students with
an interesting challenge, creating a piece of work that will contain
enough content to tell a story within fifteen seconds," said Ratner.
"I'm proud to support both Cingular and Motorola in this endeavor, and I
am looking forward to viewing the entries." 

The consumer portion of the contest invites 13-24 year-olds, who have a
VMS capable handset and Cingular Wireless service, to create their own
15- second short for submission. As with the film students, contestants
are encouraged to express themselves, be as creative as they want, and
have fun. All submissions that pass through the screening process will
live online at http://rucingular.com/screeningroom , where consumers
will be encouraged to vote for their favorites. Top vote-getters for
each week of the contest will receive free ringtones and CDs, among
other prizes. At the end of the festival, one grand-prize winner will
receive a Motorola V551 phone stocked with ringtones, as well as 10 free
movie passes and $5,000 in cash. 

Consumers can go to http://rucingular.com/screeningroom to receive
additional information about the contest, including rules and submission
guidelines. In addition, an interactive celebrity film short demo
section, dubbed the V.I.P. Room, features 15-second film shorts from
celebrities such as the Joint Chiefs, Bam, and The Donnas. These
celebrity shorts are exclusive to http://rucingular.com/ . The site also
features a mystery celebrity section where visitors have an opportunity
to guess the identity of the celebrity based on their film.
