So drop what you're doing and start calling in all your friends and favours - this could be your chance towards fame and fortune. Or at the very least, one memorable weekend.

Over six thousand people will participate this year with their short films shown in cinemas throughout New Zealand. The winning shorts from each city will finally compete against Peter Jackson's Wildcard picks on Live Television (C4) and one film will be crowned Grand National Winner 2007.

This year the competition invades Tairawhiti/East Coast (Gisborne, Wairoa, Napier, Hastings) so filmmakers there can compete against Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin in an all out national movie battle.

Prizes include; an indecent amount of V, Panasonic's HD AG-HVX202 HD and AG-DVX102 cameras, mammoth cash grants from Wingnut Films and New Zealand Film Commission, Sony F900R and Panasonic Varicam cinema kits from Rocket Rentals, Post-Production services from Park Road Post and Images & Sound, Stella Scholarship from Stella Artois, Ultimate LOOP CD/DVD collection, and a thrilling experience courtesy of Instant Kiwi and more.
