Florida 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.

About the Movies

You can make a movie about anything. Featured categories include Best Picture, Best Drama, and Best Comedy. And this year, we're also proud to offer a new social justice category brought to you by the Elfenworks Foundation.

Find out more about the opportunity to make a movie to make a difference, and possibly win a $10,000 grant.

CMF and AT&T

AT&T is proud to partner with Campus MovieFest. AT&T is hooking you up with the latest deals on wireless plans and handsets, plus a chance to try out the latest video phones and include them in your movie.

AT&T and CMF will also showcase the top movies for the nation to see exclusively on AT&T handsets. Text CMF to FILM (3456) to check them out. Take a look at the details.

Florida Grand Finale

All of the nominated movies from each Florida school's Campus MovieFest will be in the running for this best-of-the-best showcase. The top movies in the Florida Area will be awarded at this unforgettable night on Friday, April 4, at The Plaza Theatre in Orlando. Check out all the details including a limited free ticket offer.

Prizes

We know students participate in CMF to tell their stories... but over $400,000 in prizes this year can't hurt either. Click here to see a list of prizes. Get a chance to win iPods, mobile phones from AT&T, trips to meet studio execs, $10,000 cash grants, Macs, and more, just by creating an amazing short movie or showing up to enjoy the red carpet finales.

CMF is For You

Never made a movie before? Don't worry -- just grab some friends, sign up for free, and we'll help the entire way. We'll give you everything you need and get all of your questions answered. The judges will focus on your stories, and not your technical skills.

Are you an award-winning student filmmaker? Great, join in the fun for a chance at huge prizes and to be seen across the country, by studio execs, on AT&T handsets, on OurStage, in-flight on Virgin America, and online in the world's largest student film festival.

Guidelines

The most important movie guidelines are that the submissions must be five minutes or less created during Campus MovieFest week. Also, permission is needed for any music used in the movies that's not original -- fortunately, CMF provides you with thousands of tracks to consider from top local artists.
