NEW SCRAMBLE DATES

November Scramble Moved to Earlier Time: How you local filmmakers can still have a film at the festival

We hope this doesn't rain on your plans, but we just couldn't stand making you all wait till November to get your Scramble on! Earlier this year at a Salon, we mentioned that the July Sidewalk Scramble was postponed till November. Well, that's only half true. It is postponed, but it will now be August 28-30. BONUS: the Screening will be during the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival!

You will not only have a film screening at this year's festival, but your participation will make you an official sponsor of that block of films. And, in addition to your own built-in legion of fans, you will have a whole slew of new folks already at the festival. Who knows? They may be talking about you back in LA by October!

IMPORTANT DATES TO MARK DOWN:
Scramble Weekend: AUGUST 28-30
Registration Closes: Monday, August 24 @ 5pm
Kick-off: Friday, August 28 @ 6pm
Turn in: Sunday, August 30, 5pm-7pm
Scramble Screening: SEPTEMBER 26 - Festival Weekend!
Locations and more details to follow.

The overall theme for this Scramble will reflect Sidewalk's 2009 campaign: passion, desperation, and the idea that "Desperate times call for desperate measures." But, as usual, you will not know any of the required elements until the night of the kick-off.

One more important detail: there will be a cap on the number of teams. We only have 20 openings so download your registration packet today by clicking HERE and send it in with your payment ASAP.
