Jason Reitman to Judge YouTube Competition
You probably couldn’t care less about meeting Fox executives, but five thousand dollars goes a long way towards a sweet Candy Girl. That’s the prize for an upcoming YouTube short film competition to be judged in part by director Jason Reitman.
The Hewlett-Packard-sponsored competition, dubbed Project Direct, will start on Oct. 7 and will be accepting entries until Nov. 9. The videos must be between two and seven minutes in length and feature a character facing “a situation above his or her maturity level,” among other guidelines.
Reitman, director of the 2005 Fox Searchlight release “Thank You For Smoking” and the upcoming Searchlight film “Juno,” will judge the initial entries along with a panel and will narrow the field down to 20 videos. The YouTube community will then vote on a winner, which will be revealed on Dec. 5.
Hold on: “a situation above his or her maturity level”? On YouTube? Good luck with that. :P
