Icewhole.com
, one of the fastest growing film websites in the UK, is delighted to
announce the start of their move into Europe with Spain as one of their
first major territories. The first European Monthly Short Film Awards
will begin in October, with Spanish Short Films being eligible for the
first awards.
The closing date for its first month submissions is 31st October 2008, and will be the last day of each month thereafter.
The short films will be judged each month, by members from the
Icewhole.com panel of some 230+ leading film makers (Producers,
Directors, Casting Directors, Talent Agents, Writers, Actors and
Academy Award Winners) from Spain and around the world, including
Morgan Freeman, Richard Attenborough, Max Von Sydow, Ben Kingsley, and
Alan Rickman – who are all seeking to help ethically promote and
support new talent!
Every film uploaded to Icewhole.com are eligible for an annual $10,000
prize for the Best Film, and the Best Director, Writer and Actor will
be given professional representation by leading European Talent Agents.
These awards are in addition to the Quarterly Technical Awards already
being offered by partners, including Kodak and The Pinewood &
Shepperton Studio Group, for technical excellence in film making.
As of this month Icewhole.com has more than 1000 short film and music
videos on its website. Apart from films, Icewhole.com has a fantastic
networking facility which enables it’s thousands of members to find
other film and mu sic talent from Writers, Composers, Actors, to
technical crew such as Make Up Artists and Cinematographers.
Excitingly, members can not only communicate with other new talent, but
also watch some of the projects those members have been involved in –
an online showcase for budding Directors, Actors, Composers and
Musicians.
Richard Attenborough, Director: “I am delighted to be able to support
Icewhole.com with their promotion of up-and-coming European Directors,
Writers and Actors. Icewhole.com provides a really exciting way for new
talent to be seen by Industry Professionals and makes it easier for new
film makers to work together and, of course, there is no substitute for
hands-on experience. The Icewhole.com Awards is a great idea and I look
forward to viewing some of the films.”
Denise O’Dell, Producer, Kanzaman Spain: “My company and I are
committed to discovering and nurturing young Spanish talent, and
through Icewhole.com we have the unique opportunity to maybe find the
next Pedro Almodovar, Javier Bardem or Penelope Cruz.”
