The Latest Alamo Drafthouse “Be Kind Rewind” Filmmaking Contest.

Beginning on January 1, teams can sign up on filmmakingfrenzy.com to compete in the Alamo Drafthouse’s latest filmmaking competition inspired by “Be Kind Rewind.”

Director Michel Gondry continues the surreal efforts of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” with this imaginative comedy. Jack Black plays a man who accidentally erases every movie at a local video store, then he and the employee (Mos Def) must reconstruct every film that he destroyed by acting them out.

Teams will have until January 18 to complete an up-to-five-minute, homemade, low-budget remake of a popular hollywood film.

Films will be screened at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on January 22nd and 23rd, with a “best of” screening and awards ceremony on Jan 24.

FILMMAKER PRIZES:
Grand prize for Rewind Kindly is a quad-core AMD-powered Dell workstation with a 30-inch monitor. 2nd prize is an AMD-powered 17″ Dell laptop. The winning films will also be included in the Alamo preshow for the duration of the BE KIND REWIND theatrical engagement.
