CampusMovieFest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campus MovieFest (CMF) is the world's largest student film festival. Created in 2001 by four Emory University students, and originally called iMovieFest, Campus MovieFest utilizes Apple Computer laptops, iMovie and Final Cut Pro to allow college students with all levels of filmmaking experience to create short films. The equipment is provided to students for free for one week to create a 5-minute film.
