SELECTION CRITERIA

Selections will be equally judged on the inventive and experimental use of the media as well as the content of the film.

This year's judges include:

Arin Crumley
Putting real life into film, podcasting to extend the narrative, captivating social network audiences, Google mapping the audience demand for a theatrical release and digitally distributing to millions of internet viewers around the world. The pioneering efforts of Arin Crumley havenÕt gone un-noticed as Indiewire, MovieMaker, The Wall Street Journal, The Spirit Awards, The Sundance Channel, IFC TV, & many others have jumped into the echo chamber further demonstrating all that new media has to offer.

Blake Whitman
Blake Whitman is the Community Director for Vimeo.com, an online video platform where filmmakers can post, comment on, and receive feedback on their films.

Hawk Ostby
Hawk Ostby is the celebrated co-writer of the Oscar-nomianted Children of Men and 2008 blockbuster IRONMAN, starring Robert Downey Jr.

Dennis Klein
Dennis Klein is a veteran TV writer who has created such ground-breaking series as the Larry Sanders Show and Mary Hartman. He has also written for such seminal shows as The Odd Couple, Love American STyle, and All in the Family.

Fritz Donnelly and Christina Ewald
Acting in plays written by Sara Ruhl, performing and creating an interactive performance duo and venue called HiChristina (http://hichristina.com), shooting disposable films, falling in love, dancing in fishnet stockings: these are the things that Christina and Fritz share in common. But more relevant to the Disposable Film Festival, is how will Fritz and Christina judge the films? Fritz's criterion for juding films is 'how particular to the person who made this, or to the subject matter, is this film?' or, put another way, 'is the film as bald as it wants to be?' While he would like to judge everything based on 'how similar is this film to the films I make?' (http://tothehills.com), Christina has forbidden him. Christina will judge films kindly, based on feeling and respect. She has a great cinematographic eye, she's an art director, fashion designer, stylist, hair artist, everything. Just when it seems to be a farce we appreciate how tangible the farce within the farce is. Squeeze.
