FANTASTIC FEST Bumper Competition officially starts now!!! Win a week of Geek Heaven for 2 & more!

Hey folks, Harry here... It is less than 22 days till the start of FANTASTIC FEST 2010. There's just enough time for you to get involved in the 2010 Fantastic Fest bumper contest.The usual requirements for the Bumpers still apply, that they be 15 seconds long and end with the word FANTASTIC being spoken, however you like. Also in past years - we've required people to make use of a kid. That is not a requirement this time. And we usually ask that they adhere to some specific genre. This time. The genre is a favorite of FANTASTIC FEST. The sub-genre of "INAPPROPRIATE". We're asking for you, to create a 15 second bumper that is somehow INAPPROPRIATE. That could be through dialogue, sight gags, sickening imagery, exciting imagery... But we want audiences to actually scream OHMYGOD!!! when they see your bumpers. We want something that leaves an impression. Great filmmakers that have worked in the realm of the INAPPROPRIATE sub-genre include the king, JOHN WATERS, TAKASHI MIIKE, LARRY CLARK, KENNITH ANGER, HARMONY KORINE, TOM SIX, FRANK HENENLOTTER, GASPAR NOE, ABEL FERRARA, early PETER JACKSON, ELI ROTH, RUGGERO DEODATO, SRDJAN SPASOJEVIC and of course SATORU OGURA. A lot to live up to? Yeah - but I'm telling you - if your brain says, "OH NO, WE CAN'T DO THAT" - "OH YES YOU CAN" - Unless of course it is illegal and results in somebody's unwilling pain. It is September 2nd. No later than September 17th, 2010, a standard definition DVD needs to be received by us. You can send it to:
c/o Tim League Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 1120 South Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78704
Austin submissions can be dropped off in person at the Alamo South Lamar. The winner will receive two VIP badges for Fantastic Fest 2011, a $250 gift certificate to Alamo Drafthouse as well as a prize pack from Mondo Tees, not to mention the fabulous fame and honor associated with joining the above list of the "INAPPROPRIATE ELITE" - but we're encouraging you to fuck the norm, fuck it all and express yourself... Let's damage some corneas, let's spin dry some brains and let's all be FANTASTIC!
