Tribeca Offers Break for Novice Filmmakers

Filmmakers desperate for their big break now have a shot, courtesy of the Tribeca Film Festival. Festival founder Robert De Niro (news) and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos announced a short film competition that allows budding filmmakers to submit films for the chance to win a $50,000 grant and have their projects screened at a downtown theater.

The competition will accept films between two and seven minutes in length, appropriate for PG-13 audiences, to be submitted to the Amazon.com Web site through April 13.

The five finalist films will also be screened later this year at a Tribeca theater that is one of the main viewing spots for the festival, which runs from April 19 to May 1.
