Bigger and better Get Reel Film Festival 2020 now accepts entries
World-class
leather accessories brand McJim Classic Leather brings back Get Reel Film
Festival 2020, a bigger and more challenging edition of last year’s successful
Get Reel Mobile Shorts Film Festival.
This time
around, the competition is accepting entries that touch on the theme, “Filipino
Values Beyond Generations.”
The 2020
Get Reel Film Festival is upping the ante with two brand-new categories: the Main
Competition for professional and amateur filmmakers using digital cameras
and the Brand Digital Ads category for innovative ads for McJim Classic
Leather. These will complement the Mobile Shorts Competition for users
of mobile phone cameras.
Professional
and amateur filmmakers now have more opportunities to showcase their talents
and share stories displaying the timeless values of the modern Filipino
gentleman.
The
winning entries from the 2020 Get Reel Film Festival will join the prestigious
group of notable films from last year’s Mobile Shorts Competition:
Dylan Ray
Talon’s Walang Hanggang Ligaya Sa Una Mong Ngiti; James Edward Golla’s May
Love Life Na Si Pepito Jr.; and
John Carlo Balasbas Tarobal’s Champion, which all garnered critical acclaim for their inspiring
stories and excellent filmmaking.
Cash
prizes and trophies await the festival winners.
Chris
Cahilig, award-winning filmmaker and festival director, says, “Through the
powerful medium of filmmaking, a brand breaks into the new media to advance its
social cause and deliver good value and entertainment to its audience.”
Festival director and award-winning filmmaker, Chris Cahilig
Cahilig’s hope
