Completely student-run since its inception, the Ivy Film Festival was created by students for students, exhibiting the works of young filmmakers from around the globe as well as guest speakers, panels, and workshops by industry professionals. Past guests include Oliver Stone, Tim Robbins, Adrien Brody, Martin Scorsese, and Jack Nicholson. Attracting crowds of thousands to Brown University's campus, the Festival has emerged as the largest student-run film festival in the country.</span></p><div style=""><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> </span><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">We would like to invite your students to submit to our screenplay competition. While films are the focus of the Ivy Film Festival, we recognize screenwriting as an integral part of the filmmaking process. We have a myriad of events for screenwriters this year that will hopefully encourage many young writers, even those who have never submitted their work to a judged competition, to participate.</span></p><div style=""><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> </span><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Students can electronically submit their screenplays for consideration in the 2010 screenplay competition until our final deadline of February 22nd, 2010, through Withoutabox.com. A link to our Withoutabox.com account can be found on the Ivy Film Festival website <a href="http://www.ivyfilmfestival.com/"><span style="color:#0016E7">www.ivyfilmfestival.com</span></a>. The screenplay competition is currently accepting both short-form (under 30 pages) and feature-length screenplays from undergraduate and graduate students. Submissions may be in any genre, and the winners will receive a cash prize. Additionally, outstanding work in Comedy, Drama, and other genres will be recognized.</span></p><div style=""><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> </span><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">During the festival (April 13th-18th) there will be a reading of the winning screenplays and we will be hosting forums with screenwriters currently working in the industry. All finalists will be notified and invited as VIP guests to the festival. We will provide them with housing, meals, tickets to film screenings, and passes to special networking events, panels and parties. We hope that screenwriting students will be able to attend the festival, and that these events will help make screenwriting one of the more visible and exciting</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">aspects of the Ivy Film Festival this year and in the years to come.</span></p><div style=""><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> </span><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Please do not hesitate to contact myself or our Screenplay Coordinator, Lisa Weisdorf, with further questions or concerns at <a href="mailto:IFFScreenplay@gmail.com"><span style="color:#0016E7">IFFScreenplay@gmail.com</span></a>.</span></p><div style=""><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> </span><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Best regards,</span></p><div style=""><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> </span><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Michael Makowsky</span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana;mso-ansi-language:EN-US"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Screenplay Staff Member</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Verdana; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Ivy Film Festival 2010</span><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p><div><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div> </blockquote></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><b><i>D Charles Whitney, Professor and Chair</i></b></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">Department of Creative Writing, 4119 INTS</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">U of California, Riverside CA 92521</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">951.827.6076 FAX 951.827.3619</span></font></div></span></i></b></span></font></div></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></body></html>
