Clarification

Just a little clarification, "Section 8" by Scott Howe is actually going to be shown at the 10x10 Film Festival in Sacramento which is set for Sunday August 12th, not to be confused with the PCS Film Festival which takes place in October.

Here are some details from the Sacramento Film Festival's website

The 10x10 Filmmaker Challenge program was created in 2004 to supplement the Sac Music Seen music video program in providing an extra opportunity for local filmmakers to have their work seen on the big screen. Each year, a "kickoff" meeting is held during which program rules are defined and a secret theme is revealed. Filmmakers are then given 10 days to make a film of no more than 10 minutes, incorporating that theme and any other visual or verbal "elements" specified during the kickoff meeting. Submitted films are pre-screened to ensure compliance with the stated rules and themes/elements prior to the Festival screening.

In 2005, the 10x10 program moved to the last spot in the Festival schedule, on Sunday evening, and now serves as a creative after-party for the Festival as a whole.

Past Themes:

2004: The Undead and the Seven Deadly Sins - Would They Even Care?

2005: The End of Days*
*Prompted by the 10x10 program's move to the end of the five day Festival schedule.

2006: Love. Loss. Redemption. And the After-Party**
**Added visual element of a Festival mini-poster.

The 2007 Theme and Elements
(Note: this is the eighth year of the Festival.)

Theme: Crazy Eights

Visual Element: Films must include the number eight, or eight of something, or something must appear eight times.

Script Element: Each filmmaking team was given a phrase to incorporate into their film - each phrase is a standard response from a Magic Eight Ball (by Mattel).
