LEVI'S "SHOW US THE WAY" FILMMAKING COMPETITION




The art of film can change the world, but only if you make it so. It is your responsibility as visual artists and the new leaders of tomorrow to dare to improve the world through your creations. Therefore, Levi Strauss & Co. and the American Film Institute have collaborated to help amplify the voice of future pioneers as they take the first step toward their destiny.

Submit your treatment for the chance to produce a five-minute short film about a tomorrow that is better than today. Each of the six winning participants will receive $5,000 to make their film as well as an additional $500 for a Levi's® wardrobe for their cast. Winning participants will also be given 10 hours with an AFI mentor who will provide an experienced perspective. All six films will have the opportunity to be showcased at AFI Fest in 2012, and all directors will be flown out to the event, all expenses paid, to present their vision in person
