Hockomock Film Sprint Seeks Teams From Foxborough

(A Press Release from Hockomock Film Sprint)

The Hockomock Film Sprint is a filmmaking challenge for cinephiles, award winner, aspiring filmmakers, and the curious.

Ten teams are allowed to enter the competition on a first-come first-serve basis. Registration opens up on May 20 and ends June 15. To register, teams must email hockfilmsprint@gmail.com with the following: Team Name, Names of Team Members, and the Team's Town of Origin.

The Film Sprint is looking for teams from all of the Hockomock League towns: Attleboro, Canton, Foxboro, Franklin, Wrentham, Mansfield, North Attleborough, Sharon, Easton, and Stoughton.

There is an entry fee of $5 per team member (minimum of 3 people per team) to be paid at the meeting to kick off the Film Sprint.

On June 22 at 6 p.m, the competition begins. At a meeting an hour beforehand at Easton Community Access Television, teams will randomly select a genre, which they must adhere to, and a quote from a famous film, which must be spoken, sung, or written during the film. A location from the team's town of origin must also be incorporated in the film. The teams will then have 48 hours to write, shoot and edit their films.

On June 24 at 8 p.m., the completed films will be screened at Easton Community Access Television. At the screening, the panel of three judges will award the $200 grand prize to the best film.

A television program will be produced as well this year with the completed films and performances by local bands interspersed. The program will be available on the Hockomock Film Sprint YouTube page at 8 p.m. the following day and will be broadcast on Easton Community Access Television.
