NASA and the Houston Cinema Arts Society have opened submissions for its third CineSpace short film competition. The contest calls on filmmakers of all ages and skill-level to utilize NASA's amazing videos and photos to create short films.
The guidlines are pretty loose, but the only requirement is that your film is at least 10% made up of NASA footage. Aside from that, you can do what you want be it make a documentary, a music video, Sci-Fi film or anything inbetween. Judges include filmmaker Richard Linklater and the grand prize is $10,000. The key here aside from creative editing using the NASA footage, but also sound storytelling.
