aGLIFF Wants Your Trailers

The Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival (aGLIFF) is offering filmmakers a chance to get some work seen by a whole lot of people in town. You can enter the festival's Movie Trailer Competition by submitting a short of three minutes or less that embodies this year's festival theme: "We Speak Film." The deadline for submitting trailers to aGLIFF for the competition is August 15.

If you've been to aGLIFF or any other film festival, you know the type of short film needed -- the "in-house" trailer that promotes the festival as a whole. There's always one shown before every film, although aGLIFF rotates several in-house trailers so you don't get sick of seeing that same one over and over (just typing this has stuck an annoying tune used by a repetitive trailer at a certain local film fest in my head ... arrrrgh). If your trailer is selected, aGLIFF will show it in rotation before festival films this year, and you also get a film festival pass. 

Finally, a quick congrats to the brand-new staff at aGLIFF this year: Lucas Schaefer is the festival's Executive Director, and Lisa Kaselak is the new Programming Director. aGLIFF takes place this year from Sept. 28 through Oct. 6.
