p2pnet - rss feed: Movie contest extension
p2pnet.net News:- We’ve heard that we aren’t giving people enough time for the p2pnet.net /Down Hill Battle movie contest. So we’ve extended the submission date until August 20 which, we hope, will give people space to research, edit, tear apart, re-build, throw your system out the window - you know how it goes ; )
p2pnet and Down Hill Battle launched the competition because we want to see the Big Five record labels starring in their own shows. Hence our an online film contest with the simple aim of giving the public a clear and honest look at the music industry as it really is.
If a picture’s worth a thousand words, what’s a moving picture worth?
If you’re an amateur or pro movie-maker and you want to help continue the Decline and Fall of the Big Music Empire, now’s your chance.
Go here for ideas, or have a look at our first entry from Rick Fulkerson, the creator of the Music Industry MAFIA, among other shorts. His latest RIAA Porn makes the point in unforgettable terms that pornography and the entertainment industry go together hand-in-hand.
The shot of Eminem’s Bum Rap is one of the frames.
Judges
One of the judges will be James Saldana of Sleaze Bowl fame. His movie on the disgusting Apples / Pepsi / RIAA iTunes TV spot which ’starred’ teenaged victims of Big Music’s sue ‘em all campaign supplied by the RIAA sets more than one standard.
Saldana is a Southern Illinois University multimedia graduate student and student rights activist. And he’s been around.
“I make war and conflict documentaries, all on a Mac!,” he told p2pnet. “I’ve made films in Kosovo, Palestinian West Bank, and I was a embedded filmmaker in Iraq with the 3rd Armored Division.”
