The deadline for the Female Gaze Erotic Film Competition is the 16th August – next week. Alas, I haven’t received a single entry.
I’m a bit sad about this. I had hoped to encourage alternative visions of erotica with this competition but perhaps now was the wrong time. Perhaps I didn’t promote it enough (although it didn’t help that the major filmmaking sites wouldn’t list it due to their “no porn” policies). And perhaps asking people to create visual erotica is a bit of a stretch – although it didn’t have to be explicit or particularly big-budget.

So I’m considering extending the deadline, although this may depend on whether it will be cutting things too fine for a screening at Cinekink. Alternately, I might just throw up my hands and give the prizemoney to Cinekink as a sponsorship.
If you are waiting until the absolute last minute to enter, drop me a line to let me know you intend to enter (femalegaze AT forthegirls dot com)
I should also say: Please don’t scramble to film and send off any old crap in the hope of winning. We aren’t obliged to award the prize if the entries aren’t up to a certain standard.
I will update this post if the deadline is extended.
UPDATE
I’ve extended the deadline to September 6th. Winners announced on September 20th.
Now get busy, folks!
Hi Ms Naughty,
I am really sorry to hear this. I have been helping out a friend to make a submission for the competition, but we hit a problem. The camera that we were going to use for the final shoot died and the one that we used to do test shots isn’t high enough resolution for the competition, so things ground to a halt.
I will have to see if we can find an alternative camera. The idea is fully storyboarded and ready to shoot, so it would be nice to actually complete it.
John.
Thanks for letting me know.
