I am looking for a partner for this incredible opportunity. Must be a full-time student of film or any media-related subject such as Visual Communication Design or Communication Studies. There is no application fee.
The Thailand Department of Tourism will be providing:
Two round-trip flights to Bangkok
Accommodation for four nights when in Bangkok
A cash budget of 30,000 Thai Baht ($840 USD)
Travel insurance
A van w/ driver when not in Bangkok
A local Thai assistant to help with any language difficulties
Ten cash prizes ranging from $840 to $8,400 that are awarded to the best teams (determined by a judging committee)
I have a few Thai friends who are currently in Thailand, and one actually participated in this event last year as a production assistant. Also, for the past two years I've seriously considered backpacking through the beautiful country, so I already have some ideas in mind regarding locations and concepts for a short 5-7 minute film.
All additional information can be found on the official website, http://thai.film, or on the official Facebook page The Amazing Thailand Film Challenge.
If you or somebody you know meets the qualifications and might be interested in this experience of a lifetime, then please share this with them and have them contact me!
