The 2nd ZTV Film Festival Premieres Online Saturday, September 3rd, 9PM PACIFIC TIME @ www.ztvfilmfest.com
Incorporating all the fun of a drive-in theatre and a 90's foam party, ZTV aims to tantalize, shock and entertain the masses. Representing a flurry of veteran and emerging visionaries, we are accepting a broad array of exciting short film; from uncensored music video and chaotic commercial-work to abstract-animated blurbs and underground documentaries.
ZTV will culminate quarterly into an online awards exhibition of works selected by a panel of to-be-named celebrity-guest judges. Each award winner will be announced prior to receiving an easily shared, video-animated laurel designed by Muffinhead.
All selected films (plus some that we just really like) and interviews with the selected artists will be featured in our online broadcast to be posted @www.ztvfilmfest.com. Premiere date and screening location TBA.
The Optimus Maximus: Jury-selected award for visual excellence, technical skill and originality.
El Diablo: Jury-selected award for macabre /cult-horror work and originality.
The Pineapple: Jury-selected award for comical, slapstick works of humor and originality.
