Second year of AVA film project looking for filmmakers, editors and musicians
Huge success” describes last’s year’s Cap-ture: A Community Filmmaking Project—and sponsor AVA fully expects this year’s version to be even bigger. More than 80 filmmakers submitted videos in 2013 and many more are expected this year. AVA’s announced it’s seeking editors and musicians for the 2014 Capture, which will kickoff Friday, Sept. 19 at the Walker Pavilion in Coolidge Park.
What happens in the unique Capture process is that community filmmakers, editors and musicians have 48 hours to create short films based on a specific theme.
Three “Capture Creative Teams” will produce three short films. These will be compiled from clips of the submitted videos, along with original musical scores provided by the paired music team, for screening at the Capture Premiere event on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 5:30 p.m. (venue TBA).
On that night, there will also be live performances from each of the three collaborating bands that composed music for the films.
Capture’s success is being explored this week at the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture in Philadelphia, attended by AVA Executive Director Anne Willson.
“Part of AVA’s mission with Capture is to expand the program under AVA’s banner. This a great start towards that process,” said Zach Cooper, AVA’s director of media and design.
So editors and musicians, now’s the time to hop on board a project barreling into Chattanooga’s arts future. The deadline to submit for consideration is 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29.
