Guidelines
Disposable media must be central and integral to the film.
Acceptable devices include: webcams, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, disposable video cameras, screen capture software, pocket cams (like Flips) - you get the point. Unsure if your device is ok to use? Contact us.
Use of multiple devices is encouraged but by no means necessary

Submissions must be accompanied by a non-refundable submission fee of $.99
If selected, the filmmaker will be contacted and must provide an uncompressed version of the film via our ftp. Why?
Filmmakers are responsible for their usage of restricted or copyrighted material. (DFF is not liable for any copyright material unlawfully used)
Selections will be equally judged on the inventive and experimental use of the media as well as the content of
the film.

Judges
Judges for 2010 include:
Blake Whitman
Blake Whitman is the Community Director for Vimeo.com, an online video platform where filmmakers can post, comment on, and receive feedback on their films.
Hawk Ostby
Hawk Ostby is the celebrated co-writer of the Oscar-nomianted CHILDREN OF MEN and 2008 blockbuster IRONMAN, starring Robert Downey Jr.
Fritz Donnelly and Christina Ewald
Acting in plays written by Sara Ruhl, performing and creating an interactive performance duo and venue called HiChristina,
shooting disposable films, falling in love, dancing in fishnet stockings: these are the things that Christina and Fritz share.
While Fritz would like to judge everything based on 'how familiar is this film to the films I make?, Christina has forbidden him.
Christina will judge films kindly, based on feeling and respect. She's an art director, fashion designer, stylist,
hair artist, and has a great cinematic eye. Just when it seems to be a farce we appreciate how tangible the farce within the farce is. Squeeze.
