“Super 8” Inspires Young Filmmakers Contest

J.J. Abrams’s Super 8 aims to awe and capture the imaginations of moviegoers the world over. It also looks to inspire a new generation of filmmakers. In light of the upcoming sci-fi thriller, Abrams is sponsoring a filmmaking contest for aspiring directors under the age of 18.



In Super 8, debuting in theaters everywhere on June 10th, a series of creepy and mysterious events follow a horrific railroad crash witnessed by a group of friends making a film. Now it’s your turn to be the filmmaker and create your own 3-minute movie! Your film can be about whatever you want, and shot however you choose. If your movie is selected, you’ll win a Mac loaded with movie-editing software, an iPad 2, a camcorder, $1,000 for your school’s drama or arts department, and best of all, a chance for you and five of your friends to see your movie screened before Super 8 on opening day! One runner-up will receive an iPad 2.”

Find out more about the contest over at Channel One.
