REBEL MAYHEM: KILLING ARIZONA
REBEL MAYHEM
is, quite simply, the future of AZ film challenges! Designed by the founders of Rebel Filmmaker AZ and the Filmstock Film Festival, MAYHEM calls upon filmmakers in the state of Arizona to conquer cinematic challenges while simultaneously
creating buzz and growth in their community. Mayhem, appropriately titled for the month in which it will first launch (MAY
2010), is a fresh look at film production and provides just the type of “craziness” a budding film community needs.
Each MAYHEM competition will have a theme. Your first bout of insanity… REBEL MAYHEM: Killing Arizona In this REBEL MAYHEM competition, AZ Filmmakers are challenged to abide by a regularly updated ONLINE OBITUARY as they use the entire month of May to shoot a 3 minute film wherein 50+ people die. That's alot of people, you say? Exactly. The main goal of Rebel Mayhem is to utilize not just the AZ film community, but the entire state of Arizona. What better way to get the state involved and interested in AZ film than to put them in a film and let them have fun! This film challenge will create an avenue for exposure for the AZ film community and will get "everyone" involved in and educated about AZ film! TIMELINE: While the official kickoff of the competition is May 1, 2010...MAYHEM films can be produced at the filmmaker’s leisure, so long as the films are submitted by the June 18th deadline along with a KILL LIST and appropriate entry fee. In essence, you have the entire month of May (and part of June)to find your 50+ "victims" and make your film! JUDGING: ALL FILMS WILL BE SCREENED in JUNE at the REBEL MAYHEM FEST. 10 Finalist films will be selected by audience vote. Winner of the Festival will be selected out of those 10 films by 3 or more REBEL appointed judges. PRIZES: The best film will win a cash prize of $1,000.00 and the film that includes the largest number of officiated deaths will receive a cash prize of $500.00. 10 titles will also be awarded certificate-based prizes by Judge’s Scorecard to TALENT in the areas of: BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY, BEST DIRECTION, BEST SCREENPLAY, BEST ART DIRECTION, BEST EDITING, BEST MALE ACTOR, BEST FEMALE ACTOR, BEST SPECIAL EFFECTS, BEST MAKEUP, MOST CREATIVE KILL FEES: The ENTRY FEE deadline for the Rebel Mayhem films has been extended.

No, we do not condone or promote killing. What we DO promote (and the whole point of the challenge) is to gain awareness for the AZ film community by getting everyone in the state involved in a film. This challenge looks to accomplish that by having 50 people die in the film - it doesn't have to be gory or a horror-filled, blood soaked film...it's up to YOU to be creative. So relax, get a group of friends together, and have some fun making a movie!
