Calling All Moviemakers and Storytellers!

Calling All Moviemakers and Storytellers! 

The Wandering Mercuries Film Festival is looking for submissions! We’re a travelling film festival and we’ll be biking the films from Providence, Rhode Island to Chicago, Illinois and screening all along the way! The festivals’ goal is to bring film, animation, and video more effectively to public spaces and shrink the gap between everyday life and art. The Wandering Mercuries Film Festival is an independent festival and will screen in parks, co-ops, coffeeshops and other free and accessible spaces. We’re bringing all the equipment on bikes to enable outdoor screenings whenever possible and cut down on travel costs. This festival non-competitive, non-profit and free to submit! 
DEADLINE: June 20, 2012
All we need is:
-Contact Info: name, phone #, website, city, state
-short film synopsis (a sentence or two to be included in the festival pamphlet)
-a data CD (or thumb-drive) with your film as a “.mov” Quicktime File 

The contact information and synopsis can be emailed or mailed with the cd to:
The Wandering Mercuries
