PROJECT TWENTY1 – NOT JUST A FILM FESTIVAL |
| NEWSLETTER – February 24th, 2009 |
Thank you to everybody who came out to our first-ever “Show Us Your Shorts” on January 31st. We packed around 200 people into Marbar to enjoy the food, films, and fun that come with any Project Twenty1 event. If you missed it, be sure to check out the pictures on our MySpace page and our Facebook group. So thank all of you for your support in making this another successful Philadelphia independent film event!
As follow up, we would like to proudly present:
SHOW US YOUR SHORTS #2 – MARCH 28th, 2009
Shorts on DVD (under 10 minutes!!!) will be screened on a first come, first-served basis. If you’re bringing a short to screen, you’ll want to get there a little early – doors open at 5:30. We’re starting this event earlier to add time for GLOW NETWORKING. March 28th is Earth Hour, meaning the city of Philadelphia will go dark at 8:30pm for an hour. But being environmentally-conscious doesn’t mean you have to stop your careers for an hour! $2 gets you a non-toxic glow stick so you can help save the environment AND be productive at the same time, as we host another post-screening networking mixer filled with filmmakers, animators, musicians, talent & industry professionals.
The top short film of the night will again win over $200 worth of prizes!
Saturday, March 28th

MUSIC CONTEST WRAPPED!
Not Just A Film Festival, Project Twenty1 encompasses all the arts, just as film production itself does. In this vein, Project Twenty1 has just wrapped our first-ever Music Contest. We received dozens of entries from artists all over the country, from pop to rock to blues to hip-hop to easy-listening and everything in between. Our thanks go out to everybody who has submitted music to us!
Our judges are hard at work going through the many entries we received to see which piece or pieces might work best as themes for this year’s festival. Stay tuned, musicians, you will hear from us very soon!
We hope to have some more musical surprises in store for all of you soon as we expand our venues for 2009.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
Contact us! We have a rapidly growing fan base, and as we branch out with new events, new venues, and new sponsors for 2009, we are open to collaboration with all types of creative and business organizations that can help us support our filmmakers and enhance our artistic community.
