Bay Area Campus MovieFest

How the Event Works

1. Students from participating schools: just grab a group of friends, hallmates, teammates, or enemies, and sign up online before the deadline or all spots are filled. Click on your school above to sign-up for free.

2. On the Launch Date, you'll get an Apple laptop, digital camcorder, and a week to make your own amazing five-minute-or-less movie. Were handing out the latest AT&T phones with mobile Video Share to student filmmakers, and if you find a cool way to integrate the phone in your movie, you could win special prizes from AT&T.

3. During the week, we'll provide all the training and support you need. Just stop by Campus MovieFest Central to get all your questions answered.

4. The movies are turned in and judged by a panel of students and staff from your school. The top movies are showcased at a huge Campus MovieFest Finale celebration at your school -- red carpet and all -- and all movies are featured in highlights for the packed crowd to see. Students walk away with thousands of dollars in prizes.

5. Movies from each school move on to the regional and international grand finales with even bigger prizes and more community-wide attention... maybe even on AT&T mobile phones or in-flight on Virgin America.
