It’s back! The best film competition in the world EVER! My RØDE Reel 2016 with $300,000 of prizes!

I am lucky enough to judge quite a few film competitions, and without hesitation the one that stands over the others in quality is always My RØDE Reel. This is the 3rd year and I have been a judge on all of them. This year I have amazing company with the other two judges being Shane Hurbult, ASC and Rodney Charters, ASC.

It is always inspiring to see the quality each year. Yes, it helps that the prizes are always amazing, but I cannot recommend entering film competitions enough. They are wonderful creative outlets, a chance to do something you may not normally do, an opportunity to collaborate with others, and much more. There is nothing to lose in making one, as there is no entry fee!

  1. The Judges’ Best Film Category;
  2. The Peoples’ Choice Category;
  3. The Judges’ BTS Category;

  7. The Best Soundtrack Category;
  8. The Best Cinematography Category;
  9. The Best Art Direction Prize Category;
  10. The Best Location Category;

A behind the scenes component is also to be included showing a RØDE Product in the use of the production. If you don’t own much it can be as little as smart lav+ or even just an invisilav!

RØDE themselves have made an entry and BTS to give you a nice demo. Check them out below:
