But Kama!! WHAT CAN WE WIN?!?!
- You lucky dogs, here's how it is going to go down. When you win the competition, you will be given access to the Force Pit!!!
Anything more down the road?
- Here's the fun part though, we will be holding a few competitions, maybe 3 or 4. The Winners of those competitions will be added to a "pot". Near completion of 1.3, we will give those winners a package of recorded clips and scenes from 1.3. The winners will then have to create another short film using the clips provided.
- Whoever wins THAT competition will then receive an early copy of ESF 1.3 and make an official trailer for us to show on our website and for advertising purposes.
