I'm working with the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences and we're trying to get the word out that the 2005 Machinima Film Festival competition deadline is quickly approaching - Oct. 6th is the final submission date.
I know a fair amount of SL Machinima filmmakers visit the forums and I thought to post here if anyone was interested in submitting his/her film to the festival.
I've posted the competition (aka the Machinima Awards) details below but you can also find more info @ the festival site: http://festival.machinima.org
If you have any questions, feel free to PM or contact the site at festinfo_at_machinima.org
