Mosaic Mobile™ 2015 is a juried film competition for high school and college students. This festival is for films SHOT and EDITED on a MOBILE DEVICE. Films must be 2 MINUTES or under. Prizes include cash, new gear, and scholarships.

You MUST PRE-REGISTER at www.mosaicfilmexperience.comto participate. Films will be SHOT, EDITED, and SUBMITTED between October 16, 2015 and October 23, 2015. NO FILMS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNLESS THEY ABIDE BY THE RULES & TERMS. See below.

Once you've registered, you will have one week from October 16, 2015 - October 23, 2015 to submit a mobile film that includes all three elements to be announced at the beginning of the submission window.

Filmmaking was once a much more complicated art and one that wasn’t very accessible. Now, the tools to make movies can be found in your pocket! The rise of the internet, smartphones and tablets has put the power of filmmaking right at your fingertips.

Shoot - Edit - Upload - it’s that easy to enter.

In 2012, the Mosaic Film Experience was created to promote intelligent, passionate, creative discovery among high school and college students through short film.

Through courses in filmmaking and screenwriting, young people explore experiences from their own lives and share their stories and messages with a wider world.

This year we’re focusing on bringing the world of digital filmmaking to West Michigan high school students with our fourth event at the Wealthy Theatre. Dive into today’s media culture with workshops ranging from digital cinema to gaming and hear inspirational speakers talk about the world of film and television.
