SCEE to launch Shoot! this month on PSN for PS3 and PSP, short films downloadable |
Ó
Filmmakers now have a reason to partake in the fun that is the PlayStation Network. SCEE has just announced via presswire that they will be launching Shoot!, a series of free downloadable short films from budding directors this month.This is definitely an exciting project as we will see six Hollywood executive producers (including Jerry Bruckheimer) pick their own young directors "from their own country to mentor for the project."
Each of the chosen ones will then be tasked to make their own short High Def film that should capture "the essence of PlayStation: Play, Create, Share, Connect, Discover and Challenge."
The films produced will then be made available for download at the European PS Store beginning November 13, formatted for both the PSP and the PS3.
Not only that, but they will also be brought to and screened in European film festivals as well as ShortsTVNetworks from January of 2009.
Here's the press release info on the director-producer teamups for Shoot!:
Bitter - Joel Wilson and Jamie Campbell (United Kingdom, Executive Producer: Michael Winterbottom) Bitter is the tale of a man who is set to meet his daughter's boyfriend for the first time. When he meets him he is faced with his worst nightmare -- they are the same age and the meeting is a tale of the unexpected.
Citizen Hero - Christophe Perie (France, EP: Jan Kounen) Citizen Hero is his second short film. Christophe is working on his first feature film project -- he prepares to shoot in 2009.
Prison Food - Uwe Flade (Germany, EP: Marc Rothemund) Prison Food, set during a very special Sunday in a single prison cell, is a tale of entrapment, tension and the power of the human imagination. With only a ball and the human mind, to comfort them, Flade's characters envision a better life for themselves, free from their repetitive, helpless state. It's only disrupted by reality rudely shattering their delicate fantasies.
Hands - Director Xavi Jose (Spain, EP: Montxo Armendariz) Hands, his first in the director's seat, is a fascinating and melancholy character portrayal that reveals a new facet with every viewing. The story of a couple who live with a damaging secret, and the actions that pull them apart, it's a tale that ultimately grips and shocks us. Xavi has brought his full array of talents to creating a film that looks as good as the script reads.
8.3 Minutes - Highly acclaimed photographer Klaus Thymann (Scandinavia, EP: Thomas Vinterberg) 8.3, uses elements from Mayan culture and modern technology to explore the divide between science and mysticism. Thymann's work asks just what differentiates our beliefs in the spiritual world from the facts that we cannot ignore. It's a work that builds tension upon itself piece by piece, until all is revealed in a dramatic, surprising conclusion.
The Dreaming - Anthony Green (International, EP: Jerry Bruckheimer) is a young Canadian director interested in exploring global issues and contemporary morality through the medium of film. Aged 21, Anthony wrote and directed Pigeon, his first short film to attract international acclaim. In 2005 Anthony earned a BFA with honours from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

I wonder if they will ask us to vote on them. I like this idea.
