Los Angeles - August 28, 2008 - Non-Human

Web Video on the Big Screen

This month's theme is NON-HUMAN, by which we mean anything that doesn't include human actors on-screen. We welcome animation, puppets, animals, machinima, or whatever other interpretation you have. Submissions will be accepted between August 1 and 21.

The live event will be held at Catchlight Studios in Los Angeles from 7:00 - 9:30 PM.

These events are live tests of how well online video survives the move from the PC to the gigantic screen, accompanied by entertaining commentary from our judges and informative talks by relevant, successful online video entrepreneurs.
