Always wanted to make a film? Here’s your chance.
Japanese beer, Kirin Ichiban is launching its inaugural First Cut short film competition and you could win £3000 cash or a year’s supply of beer as well as having your films shown at a swanky short film festival.
Entries of all standards and formats are welcome, from amateurs on their mobile phones to pros using 35mm.
One stipulation is that the film should be themed around the concept of “First Press”, a reference to Japan’s Prime Brew, Kirin Ichiban, which is made by the “Ichiban Shibori Process”, which literally translated means “First Press”.
