Win $10,000 and an Online Premiere for Your Sci-Fi Short
A $10K sci-fi short film competition that wants to prove that “no bond is stronger than family.”
Throughout the year, we feature a number of short film competitions that are on the search for awesome entries, finding that the more focused and specific the competitions are, the more beneficial it is to the applying filmmaker. This latest one, KIN X DUST $10,000 Sci-Fi Short Film Competition, is quite specific indeed, looking for a narrative short (between one and 15-minutes long) that equally shares family and otherworldly values.
A division of the distribution company Gunpowder & Sky, DUST is teaming up with Lionsgate for this initiative, offering a $10,000 cash prize to a short film that, inspired by DUST’s latest upcoming release—Jonathan and Josh Baker’s Kin—is birthed from the tagline “no bond is stronger than family.” If you can create a nifty sci-short that uses familial (and perhaps extraterrestrial) themes appropriately, The Baker Brothers, DUST, and Lionsgate may just choose you to receive the grant and subsequently meet The Baker Brothers and have your film premiere on WatchDust.com.

Fuji Courts Sports and Nature Market with Expanded X Mount Lens Offerings
Fujifilm has announced an expansion for its X series cameras with lenses filmmakers will appreciate.
Fujifilm mirrorless cameras are best known for two main factors, their pleasing color reproduction and their excellent lenses. While they don’t have the amazing low light abilities of the Sony A7 line, and they aren’t the documentary powerhouses with the 10-bit internal of the GH5, they have found a solid position for themselves in the market for photographers—and increasingly filmmakers—who are focused on accurate skintones and sharp but pleasing lenses.
