Contest from Allen Zadoff of My Life in the Theater, and Other Tragedies

Contest from Allen Zadoff of My Life in the Theater, and Other Tragedies

Posted on July 6, 2011 at 8:23 am

Allen Zadoff‘s terrific new book is My Life, the Theater, and Other Tragedies, about a high school theater techie (he works lights in a production of “Midsummer Night’s Dream”) who likes to stay behind the scenes until he meets a pretty transfer student who is suddenly put into one of the starring roles. It is funny, smart, and filled with authentic details and a lot of heart. You can win prizes for your own school theater group by uploading a picture of the book in a theatrical setting to the contest page.  You might find yourself in the paperback edition!  Stay tuned for an interview with Zadoff coming soon.

Make a Video For Moby and Win a Prize!

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 7:39 am

Make a video for one of three new Moby tracks and you could find yourself featured at the New Director’s Showcase in Cannes!  Here are the details:

This year, as part of The Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Saatchi & Saatchi partners with Vimeo and Moby to discover yet another unique filmmaking talent, with a Music Video Challenge.

The brief is simple: interpret and bring to life the idea of ‘Hello, Future’ in the form of a fantastic music video for one of Moby’s tracks from his new album, ‘Destroyed’.

The winner will be announced and their video screened at this year’s New Directors’ Showcase in Cannes, as well as on the Vimeo site.

Historically, many featured directors in the Showcase have gone on to seriously successful careers: Tarsem, Michel Gondry, Mark Romanek, Spike Jonze, Ivan Zacharias, Kinka Usher, Danny Kleinman and Jonathan Glazer included.

No pressure.

All the rules for the Moby video contest are posted on Vimeo.  Download the three Moby tracks, pick one, create a masterpiece, and good luck!
