Vodka O launches short film competition for budding film-makers
Vodka O has launched a short film competition for budding film-makers and creatives.
The winning film will be shown at the Sydney Film Festival, which will be screened on the 12 days of the festival, and on SFF TV at Martin Place between 6 and 17 June.
It will also run on the brand’s Facebook page and on YouTube.
The winner will also gain full rights to use the film in their folio, as well as be introduced to special guests at the Opening Night Celebration Party.
Vodka O will also throw the winner their own private screening party.
Entrants must enter a one-minute film based on a script provided by Vodka O, which they can access via the Facebook page.
“As a company started out of a garage in Sydney, we know how important it is to get a leg up,” said Tim Szonyi, CEO of Vodka O’s brewer ASM Liquor.
The ‘Making a short film’ thing is today’s Flashmob. Probably yesterday’s in fact.

If they want to interest people they should probably but the brief on their page.

Is that the prize? You can use the film in your portfolio and a ticket to the openning night? Hardly think it’s worth it.
Nice try Timmy

“Gain full rights to use their film in their portfolio”?
They have that right anyway. How patronising.

I’m sorry, but this has to be one of the most pathetic attempts at the already overused “make-an-ad-for-my-brand-so-we-don’t-have-to” competitions that I’ve ever seen. Not only is the prize somewhat dubious (I can use it in my portfolio? Oh, how generous!) but why send people to your Facebook page, on which you post links to another (apparently more relevant) Facebook page, which then sends you back to the original – all without any concrete information on how to enter? If you view other lost souls’ comments, the management team’s response to requests for the brief is: Hi ***, Please email competition@asmliquor.com Please allow a couple of days for the team to get this across to you. Thank you for your post VO Team.
Good luck getting professional standard entries with a competition that’s obviously so unprofessionally run.

Looks like their office junior is going to be working overtime to produce fake entries to get the numbers up.

These guys could be cool. Unfortunately their marketing team are ensuring they’re not.
