The Surry Arts Council is accepting submissions for the upcoming Surry Arts Film Festival — but the deadline is fast approaching.
“We started the festival last year and it was a success,” said Melissa Sumner. “We’re hoping to build on that success for an even better event this year.”
Last year there were 12 submissions from five schools: East Surry High School, Mount Airy High School, North Surry High School, Surry Central High School, and UNC School of the Arts.
“It’s a great opportunity for students to showcase their original films at a professional theatre, and also to get feedback from professionals. We plan to have filmmakers from the area comment on submissions,” Sumner said.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 6. Scoring elements include originality, production value, message, and entertainment value. Those selected for screening will be notified by Friday, March 27. The Film Festival is Tuesday, April 14, at 7 p.m. at the Historic Earle Theatre.
“I’m really looking forward to the Festival,” Sumner said. “Young people have a unique perspective, and their films express not only their creative vision but also what they consider important and noteworthy.”
Eligible applicants must be in grades 9-12 and films must have been produced during the 2019-2020 school year. For complete guidelines or any additional information, contact Sumner at 336-786-7998 or melissa@surryarts.org.
