Cell phone movie contest! Could you make a blockbuster in just 30 seconds?
College Launches Cell Phone Film Contest
ITHACA, N.Y. – An Ithaca College dean is encouraging students to instead think small — and she’s offering a $5,000 prize to do it. The school has invited high school and college students across America to submit a 30-second movie shot entirely with a cell phone.
It may come off like a gimmick, but Dean Dianne Lynch has no doubts about the contest’s academic value.
In today’s media marketplace — where cell phones can take pictures, play music and games and connect to Web sites — it’s all about thinking small and mobile.
