ABOUT THE ASIAN AMERICAN FILM LAB AND THE 72 HOUR SHOOTOUT
The Asian American Film Lab (“Film Lab”), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, began as collaborative of New York-based filmmakers whose goals consisted of honing their craft and sharing their knowledge, experience and resources with other filmmakers and writers dedicated to the promotion and creation of gender and ethnic diversity in the mediums of film and television. The membership has grown to comprise professionals, artists and other talented individuals who all share the common goals of creating great film and promoting Asian American filmmakers, and other filmmakers of color, and the visibility of Asian and Asian American stories and diverse characters in film and television. Film Lab’s programming includes filmmaking workshops with industry professionals, acting workshops. screenwriting contests, a production arm (AAFL TV which broadcasts online, on NYCLife and on CrossingsTV) and film competitions, including the annual 72 Hour Film Shootout (the “Shootout”). This annual competition, now in its eleventh year, has inspired hundreds of filmmakers by helping nascent talent take brave steps towards a filmmaking career.
The Shootout is a high-profile worldwide short film competition where filmmaking teams have 72 hours to write, shoot, edit, and produce short digital films up to five minutes in length and based on a common theme. The Shootout theme will be announced early JUNE 2015 (Date TBD), at a launch party in New York City and simultaneously on the Internet. The Shootout will culminate on July 25, 2015, with a theatrical screening of the top ten finalists, an awards presentation, and a wrap party. 2015 will be the 11th year Asian CineVision will partner with Film Lab to promote the Shootout at the annual Asian American International Film Festival (“AAIFF”). AAIFF is New York’s leading festival for independent Asian and Asian American film and video, and the first and longest-running U.S. festival of its kind.
