Actuality Media Extends Documentary Contest Deadline
Win the study abroad opportunity of a lifetime with Actuality Media
Co-founder Aubrie Canfield said the extension provides keen entrants more time to produce the mini-docs on local changemakers making a sustainable impact on chronic social or environmental problems.
“We heard the requests for additional time to complete the documentaries and wanted to provide more aspiring filmmakers the opportunity to enter the competition,” Ms Canfield said.
Ms Canfield said she was excited to be learning about some amazing individuals, groups and organisations via the submissions.
“We've always had a focus on improving the storytelling of filmmakers with an eye for bringing attention to new and great changemakers - but that our new competition might pull a pool of new filmmakers into action is a wonderful surprise I hadn't considered."
The grand prize is a 100% scholarship towards a 2017 Actuality Media Documentary Outreach in Peru, Nepal, Nicaragua or Morocco to study the art and practice of filmmaking while telling stories about solutions that improve our world.
