Seeking submissions from Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee!
Tributary is hosted by the merchants of Historic Downtown Sikeston, Missouri. We aim to support the development of regional filmmakers and to provide a forum for regional subjects.
In 2016, Tributary includes a 24 hour cell phone film challenge. Register your team and the phone you will shoot on at 6pm on Friday, July 15. We'll give you a prop and a line of dialogue. Shoot and edit a 1-4 minute film, using only your phone and the prop and line provided, and email us a Vimeo link to your finished film by 6pm on Saturday, July 16. Films may be edited on computers and with any software, but no other cameras may be used. We will screen submissions live at 9pm on Saturday, July 16.
All those whose films are selected for Tributary are invited to attend the festival for free. Directors, Producers, writers, and actors will be invited to sit on pannels between screenings. We hope this provides an outlet for both filmmakers and fans in our area to discuss their crafts or hobbies.
Cash prizes and trophies will be awarded to films in each category.
