MySpace has launched MyMovie MashUp in partnership with Vertigo Films a competition to find the best short film director on MySpace. The winner will get to direct a feature film with a budget of over £1 million with the film scheduled for theatrical release in 2008.

Entries will be judged by a distinguished panel of filmmakers and actors who will select five finalists. The finalists then face a public vote by millions of MySpace users to decide the ultimate winner. The lucky winning director will immediately begin production on their feature film…

To enter the competition and win the chance to direct MyMovie Mashup, you need to set up a MySpace page or Filmmaker page. You then need to enter your video through the entry form on the MyMovie MashUp page (available from the 31st January 2007). You must be the director of the video, a legal UK resident and aged 18 or over to enter this competition. You must be available to participate in all aspects of the video development process. If you are the producer of the video you may enter your video into this competition on behalf of the director ensuring that the director is available to participate. Note that the prize is limited only to directors and not to producers unless they also directed the video. Twelve videos will be selected to go to the next stage and pitch to a panel of industry luminaries on a date to be announced. The director will need to be available to participate in the filmmaking process from submission until the video’s premiere in 2008.By posting a video on the MyMovie MashUp page and entering the competition, you agree to adhere to the rules of this competition.
