Call for Entries: Video Gong Show!

The Video Gong Show

Film Action Oregon is on the lookout for short-film entries for its 3-round Video Gong Show contest!

Entries can be nearly any style or quality ( Music videos, Senior thesis projects, Stoner videos, Feature Excerpts, & Teasers…etc.)

Your peers & celebrity judges will rate the videos, and the top 5 from each rounds will advance to the Finals at the Hollywood Theatre in October.  Compete for cash & a prize from Picture This worth $2000+.  Those gonged the quickest will also be rewarded 🙂

The event is designed to be competitive – Like the original show, the film’s run time could be cut short by the sound of a GONG! if the crowd is bored.  But it is meant to be fun (not cruel) & to provide a networking space for the local film community members.

Proceeds to benefit Film Action Oregon (FAO), now in its 18th year of operation.  FAO supports working artists producing independent film projects, educates youth in the art of filmmaking & animation, and presents nationally-recognized films on 3 screens at the historic Hollywood Theatre.
