DRY HUMP! FILM CHALLENGE

Entry deadline is September 26 - Films screen during Local Sightings Film Festival

In response to The Stranger's annual skin-and-fluids porno fest, Northwest Film Forum ups the ante and screws with the screw. We are calling on filmmakers to imagine sexy without skin. That's right. Give us the steamiest scenes possible but in situations that are traditionally unsexy. Whether its about lusty longing, haywire hormones, frustrating foreplay or funky frottage, throw some distance in there… and for god's sake keep your pants on! Your cast must be fully clothed, and films must be no longer then 5 minutes in length. Its HUMP without the bump... you up for it?

Rules: 1). Films must be no longer than five minutes 2). Acceptable formats are mini-DV, DVD, Beta-SP, or if you're feeling ambitious, Super-8 and 16mm 3). Include title, filmmaker's name and contact info with submission. Send to: Northwest Film Forum, c/o Adam Sekuler, 1515 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122. Submissions are due September 26.
