LESS THEN A WEEK LEFT TO APPLY

If you are a Filmmaker and looking for a challenge then read on!

2Weeks 2Make It gives filmmakers and musicians the opportunity to showcase their abilities. The participation for filmmakers is FREE!

Get the chance to produce a music video, in just two weeks, from scratch. The results will be presented on 29th April during the Gala Screening at the Sensoria Festival of Music and Film.
On the 31st March, 2010, participants can take advantage of a series of master-classes and seminars led by our excellent speakers, followed by our massive Launch Event. Accompanied by live music and guest speakers, bands and filmmakers will be randomly paired into teams.

The speakers for the Industry Day will include:
- Caroline Bottomley - Radar Music Videos
- Roo Piggott - Sunshine HQ
- Barry Ryan - Warp Films (tbc)
- Frank Wilkes - Doncaster Music Group / Higher Rhythm
- Matt Maude - Left Eye Blind Productions (tbc)
- Dave Holloway - Media Lounge
- Rob Speranza - South Yorkshire Filmmakers Network

The prizes:
The band will be awarded with a chart registered release through Circuit Records (a Higher Rhythm Company) and distributed by New York based company 'The Orchard', the worlds biggest digital music distributor. The release will go through 660 digital storefronts and mobile carriers in 75 countries.
The winning filmmaker will receive 750 towards the making of a professional music video; and a free digital cinema jpeg 2000 master print and encode, courtesy of 2Weeks 2Make It's brand new supporters, mytherapy TV! (www.mytherapy.tv)
Additionally the entire winning team (band and filmmaker) will be awarded with a meal at TGI Fridays worth 100.00 as well as with a free SYFN membership for a year. This is another 25.00 each. The membership also gives lots of discounts. (www.syfn.org/discounts.htm)

There will be a 100.00 cash prize for the creator of the audience's favourite video. The musicians will receive a case of special 2Weeks 2Make It beer by the sponsor Peak Ales.
The winners will also be featured in an article in the Sheffield Star or Sheffield Telegraph newspaper. They are also going to host the winning videos on their website.

And we are still in progress to get some more bits together for the winners.
