(Not sure how an event outside On The Rocks Festival is related to this thread?)

Paul Carey wrote:There is one thing I believe could help. Get a iMovie / CampusMovieFest type event back on the go. I think the last one was 2004?? I'm pretty sure thats how Naysun got started!. That type of event would help sow the seeds for the next generation of would be film makers and perhaps keep the likes of Halfcut ticking over for a good few years to come.

I'm not sure if it got more people making films for Halfcut, but it might have created more of a buzz when Halfcut actually happened (I think the cinema was pretty much sold out that year). We tried to do something similar in first semester last year and the year before, but we didn't really get any submissions.

I would also suggest opening it up to completely independent filmmakers across Scotland, and not just students...
The industry panel with the guys from Pixar and Robert Sproul-Cran worked particularly well, and I was blown away by the enthusiasm and energy of the audience during the Q&A session. It was definitely on par with any official industry happening I've experienced at events such as the Edinburgh International Film Festival!
