I am a student at Columbia College and the co-founder and director of the Columbia University Film Festival. I wish to ask if anyone at the undergraduate level would be interested in submitting their work for our film festival.

This event will be held on the Columbia University campus, featuring seven to eight short student films selected for their distinction and excellence among a pool of submissions from across the country. A selected group of professionals already well-established in the filmmaking industry will judge the films to win awards in any of the eight categories (Soundtrack Award for best use of music & sound, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Acting, A Frontiers Award for Most Original Film, Best Directed, Best Overall, and an Outreach Award for an outstanding film of a humanitarian nature or a film dedicated to Community Service).

The event will take place in early April at Columbia University in New York City, where the finalists' films will be screened at Columbia's Roone Arledge Cinema of Lerner Hall. Films of all genres are accepted. The film submission deadline is tentatively set for March 14th.

For further information or for a copy of the submission form, you may visit our website at http://www.CUfestival.com/ or you may e-mail me back at cds2107@columbia.edu or calvindsun@gmail.com.

I wish continued success in all your endeavors in the art of filmmaking.
Thank you so much!

all the best,
