NEVADA CITY, CA May 13, 2009 - The Nevada City Film Festival announces "My Nevada City" Video Contest presented by Citizens Bank of Northern California.

There is definitely something going on in them foothills! For decades the beautiful gold rush-era town of Nevada City, California has been home to a host of world renown musicians, poets, and visual artists, making the area a welcoming and lively setting to showcase creative independent filmmaking. This year NCFF and Citizens Bank of Northern California celebrate the pioneer spirit of independent filmmaking with a video contest for residents to share their vision, their love, their Nevada City with audiences.

We are looking for submissions no shorter than 30 seconds and no longer than 2 minutes that uses the town of Nevada City as it's organizing theme. Show us what you love about your town! Is it downtown Broad Street or the many characters that live amongst us? Could it be the vibrant arts and culture scene? Maybe the beautiful natural setting? Or it's where your family lives and has for many generations? There are no restrictions. Have fun with it!

Videos will be judged by a panel of NCFF filmmakers and Citizens Bank representatives on creativity, storytelling ability and execution. The winning video will receive a $250 savings account, be screened during the 9th Annual Nevada City Film Festival August 20-23, 2009 and could possibly be used by the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce and Nevada City Downtown Association to promote the great city of Nevada.

To help get folks started, join Nevada City Film Festival Directors and leading film industry professionals Saturday, May 30th at City Hall in Nevada City at 10am, for a panel discussion on independent filmmaking followed by a Question & Answer with the audience and a social mixer with food and beverages provided. This is an incredible opportunity to learn and network. All levels of filmmaking experience are welcomed. This event is free to the public.
