ART IN THE PARK & Film Festival in a Box
Thursday, August 12th, 9PM
Cal Anderson Park
1635 11th Ave
On Thursday, August 12, at 9pm, IndieFlix is launching the new movie game, Film Festival in a Box at Cal Anderson Park! It’s a free and family-friendly event. Bring your cell phone. You’ll need it to vote!
To celebrate the official launch of the game we’re inviting the city of Seattle to come play Film Festival in a Box: Comedies. After the public, open-air screening of the 4 Short films, everybody will vote by text message to pick the winner. The event is appropriate for ages 5 and up, and playing time is about 1 hour. The screening will be followed by a wrap party of dessert and discussion across the street at NuBe Green!
Magnolia AV will be sponsoring this event with an incredible 12′ x 16′ screen, supplied by AV Pro, and a crystal clear Epson projector. The sound should be unbelievable as well. (McIntosh XRT1 loudspeakers w/ the MC1.2Kw amps) Hans Brackmann of Magnolia will be on hand to assist anyone with questions related to the equipment.
Film Festival in a Box (FFB) is a social gaming platform that connects people through movies. Players will watch four short independent films and then act as a jury to determine which film will win “best of the fest in a box.” The winners will be announced online, and winning filmmakers will be awarded a cash prize, making it a great way to support independent film.
Comedies is one of four versions of the Film Festival in a Box Game. Currently other boxes include: Powered by Girls, Pottymouth Comedies, and 4 Fantastical Short Films.
COME PLAY!
