Call for Entries: Tied House Film Festival // June 28th & 29th, 2013

Deadline: Saturday, June 15, 2013

Drinking and Writing Theater and Chicago Filmmakers present the Third Annual Tied House Film Festival presenting new work based on the mission “to explore the connection between creativity and alcohol.”  Submission is now open for original short films approximately 5 – 10 minutes in length of any genre that investigate, extrapolate or involve one of the six stages of intoxication: euphoria, excitement, confusion, stupor, coma, and death.  
 
Short film submissions do not require the presence of alcohol (although it probably wouldn't hurt your chances). Foreign language and diverse works are encouraged.  Projects must be submitted through email to coop@chicagofilmmakers.org (send us a link and password) or on DVD to: Chicago Filmmakers, Attn: Tied House FF, 5243 N. Clark St, Chicago IL 60640. Entries must be in by midnight CST on Saturday, June 15th to be considered.
 
The Drinking & Writing Theater, located at the Haymarket Pub and Brewery, strives to preserve the spirit of creativity and passion of the drinking artist. Selected entries will be featured at the Tied House Film Festival, taking place at both Chicago Filmmakers and Haymarket Pub and Brewery; and their filmmakers will be awarded a free growler of local craft beer from the Haymarket Pub and Brewery.  Audience award winning films will receive premier grand prizes from local businesses.
