Hello There, The following link may be helpful for you. http://en.apuliafilmcommission.it

In the Spotlight this week is the 2nd Annual Producers Guild Weekend Shorts Contest, benefiting the Producers Guild of America's (PGA) Debra Hill Fellowship. A pioneer among women in film production, Debra Hill charted a course from production assistant to writer-producer of some of the most successful films in history. By the time of her death in 2005, her filmography included crowd-pleasing hits like Halloween and Escape from LA, as well as the critically-lauded Academy Award-nominee The Fisher King . Uniquely dedicated to honoring Hill's memory and achievements, the Weekend Shorts Contest is proud to bring the adventurous spirit of her life and work to a new generation of filmmakers and audiences. The Contest is open to all filmmakers worldwide 18 years and older; registrants need not be a member of the Producers Guild to enter. The Producers Guild invites producers of all experience levels to participate in this exciting contest. Tailored to test both storytelling ability and production efficiency, entrants must craft memorable and effective films based upon a pre-assigned topic, with a maximum of 51 hours at their disposal. All entrants will receive the same assignment, but each will no doubt approach the subject with his or her own individualized flair. Completed productions will be submitted online and evaluated by accomplished industry professionals - including producers Gale Ann Hurd and Stacey Sher - each of whom had strong personal friendships with Hill. The Contest will award First-, Second-, and Third-Place prizes, each of which includes guidance and mentorship from a well-respected member of the PGA. Additional prizes designed to help emerging talents advance their filmmaking careers include a $60,000 USD gift certificate from Panavision, a one-year subscription to Movie Magic, and a $10,000 gift certificate for grip and electric rentals from Cinelease. UPCOMING DEADLINE September 12, 2012 - Regular Registration Deadline MISSION AND OBJECTIVE The mission of the Producers Guild Weekend Shorts Contest is to support talented producers through the Producers Guild's Debra Hill Fellowship and to bring the inspirational spirit of Debra Hill's life and work to new generations of storytellers.
