Machinima Europe Festival 07 & Machinma Festival 08

For those keeping track, some news to share on the festival front.

The 2007 Machinima Festival (North America) will be pushed into mid-2008, as we're still pulling together funding and partners for the event. A festival requires both proper financial and human resources (partially to do with my own time - more on this later), and rather than to hold a lackluster event, we've determined holding the festival in 2008 will give us more time to properly ramp up the fest. This said, we're working quite a bit in the background to lock in the 2008 date and venue. Stay tuned to here and the AMAS site for future info once it's solid (soon!).

With this in mind, I want to push having people submit their works to the Machinima Europe Festival 07! This event, which is the European equivalent of the festival we have in North America, will be a weekend long Machinima-focused event, complete with its own competition. Any Machinima work previously created can be submitted (regardless of which Machinima festivals you might have submitted to previously - including the AMAS ones in the States). In addition, the entry of your work is free! The submission deadline is Sept. 1st, so get crackin' and submit your Machinima work to this year's only Machinima event!

No! Say it ain't so! 2008?! Aw, 2008 isn't so bad, but mid-2008?! That's like a year away! I was just thinking about how much I was looking forward to it! Oh, shoot.

Well, make sure it's the best yet. And keep it in New York City, or nearby. Please!

Thanks for the heads-up. I was starting to wonder! I'm going to work on putting together a demo for a tool I'm working on, since I'll probably have something to show in time for the festival (fingers crossed).
