CAMBOFEST Fee Waivers Available

Subject: CAMBOFEST Fee Waivers Available -- read more!

In consideration of the global aspects of our aims with CamboFest, we're now offering **fee waivers** to filmmakers who can locate an additional film submission from a filmmaker from a lesser developed nation (see the UNDP development index here:
http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/)

SO: filmmakers from "highly developed nations" (US, UK, etc)

1) find a "buddy" filmmaker from one of the UNDP's list from Medium Development [Dominica through Gambia] on down to Low Development [Senegal through Sierra Leone] who wants to submit their movie to CamboFest

2) wrangle your entries and print out this announcement and include it with both submissions--

3) both movies will be waivered!*

IMPORTANT: Please understand that this wouldn't apply to foreign filmmakers who have emigrated to a developed host country and have made their movie there (ie, a filmmaker from Laos who has already moved to LA and has made her/his movie there with the support of the LA production environment wouldn't qualify)

The whole idea is to find and "reward" those filmmakers from lesser developed countries who have slugged it out in a (presumably) less robust media production sector in their home country, along with the "buddy" filmmakers from the more advanced nations who have gone to the trouble to locate and invite those films...

Hope this makes sense, if in doubt, email us at
