2015 Central Oregon Film Festival
COFF is a Family-Friendly Short Film Contest for local film producers in the Central Oregon area. This is our Fourth Annual Central Oregon Film Festival, so we have a great track record and we are excited about this upcoming year.
*Please take a minute to watch our Video Intro (above) to get an overview of why we are personally involved with this community project.
THIS YEAR'S SHORT FILM COMPETITION
We feel it is important to inspire local film artists by hosting the competition and film festival. This gives producers of ALL age- and skill-levels a chance to learn and hone film-making skills (including writing original music, which we reward with automatic points) and make films in all genres to then share with the community.
PRIZES
We are raising funds for cash prizes, a Best All-Around Prize (GoPro Cam Hero3 or 4), Best Amateur Prizes in all 3 ages categories, Cash Awards for Other Category prizes as well as funds for trophies, banners and marketing/promotion costs. Early Bird entries will receive a COFF T-shirt this year, as well.
2015 BEST ALL-AROUND PRIZE
OUR $2500 GOAL
The Indiegogo money we collect will be distributed among the prize categories, and for trophies and medals first. Amounts then raised over these priority items will be used for other festival costs.
SPONSORSHIPS: We will be collecting business sponsorships throughout the year... if you are interested in a biz sponsorship, please make sure we are aware of your business name (we will contact you for a logo and etc).
If we end up going OVER our anticipated amount because of private or business sponsorships, then we will put the funds to use within the current year's festival budget.
CONTRIBUTIONS
In contributing to our campaign, you will help inspire local film-makers to create film-art to share with the community. We promote positive creative expression in Central Oregon, and YOU will be helping the artists we encourage through our festival.
OUR SUCCESS
Through our Best Amateur categories, You will also be inspiring new producers to learn the craft and go on to produce more films in the future. Please watch the video intro for more details. *See COFF winner 17-year-old Hannah A.'s story about being inspired by the film festival to learn film production and to produce a full-length documentary about social issues.
