OVERVIEW:

Whereas Hollywood Post 43 is known as “The Post of the Stars”, and a significant portion of our membership work in the media, entertainment, and film industry. And, as a post we can help prepare our members for future success by facilitating opportunities for them to create portfolio worthy material. Therefore, The Media and Communications Committee is spearheading a Member Made Media competition which will bring our members together and showcase our building.

In order to match the wide range of talent in the Legion Family, this competition will have three categories: Scripted Short Story, Documentary News, and Social Media. There is a limit of 5 teams per category. Each team will have an allotted amount of time to shoot inside the Post.

THEME:

The theme of this year’s competition will  be the Hollywood Post 43 Clubhouse. Teams can express the theme as they see fit, for example as a location, a character, the scene of an event, a historical landmark, or a work of art in itself. The style is not limited to genres such as action, romance, or period pieces. The choice is up to the team. Although the teams will be given an allotted amount of time to film in the clubhouse, the entire piece does not need to be shot there.

CATEGORIES:

Each category is limited to a certain number of people that can be in the clubhouse on the location shoot day. Although that does not restrict the size of your overall team. For example if your editor or composer doesn’t want to be on set then they don’t have to.

Although there is no strict limit to the size, budget, or scope of your team, we ask that in the spirit of competition you adhere to the following guidelines.

Each team must consist of at least 50% Legion Family members.

Scripted Short Story – Up to 10 minutes
