It's that time again. The Converse Gallery wants your original 24
second film. But this time they want films that are based on a theme. The themes are "imagination,"
"escape," "renaissance," and "secret." It's up to you whether or not your Chuck Taylors
appear in your film, the only thing they ask for is they be films and not commercials - although they would be in
essence just that. If your film is selected you get $1,000 and if selected for TV you get $10,000. They have dozens of
songs you can download from their site for your soundtack. Sounds like fun...deadline is in ten days though, so you
have to hurry.Converse Digital Film Contest

(Page 1)2. Don't believe Converse. They say they don't want commercials, but last year's winner was soooo a commercial and it was directed by a commercial director. In fact many of the winning entries looked just like commercials and were directed by commercial directors.

3. It's true that even though they ask for films it's still a commercial any which way you wrap it because it's promoting converse sneakers. So they really should just say commercials that look like short films... It would probably save them time having to explain, right?

1. I think that is just genious... it really engages people into the brand, they just have to let people vote themselves on the movie they prefer to be broadcast (let consumers be the jury) and then it will be even have more impact ("hey, i voted for that ad").
