On
Sunday 12 June 2011 the Shires will again play host to only the second ever Raglan Shire Studios Film Festival!
More and more clever filmmakers are turning their hand to creating some wonderful mini-movies featuring tinies, and who can blame them? We’re a constant source of fun and entertainment and despite our obvious physical limitations (no facial expressions, for example), we have proven that we are able to portray a whole host of roles, from dramatic to comedic.
As such, we’ve decided that it’s way over time that we again showcased the amazing movie-making talent that we have around the Shire and in the world of tinydom at large in our very own festival in the summer!
So why are we telling you now? Well, film-making often takes time (not always, but often) and we want to give everyone who may even like to try and do something plenty of time to practice how to do it and try and make something. What you shoot is entirely up to you (except for a couple of rules below), as long as it’s entertaining and creative!

hereThe only guidelines for qualify for your film to be shown – so far, this is not an exhaustive list and may be added to or amended as necessary - are as follows:
- Your film must be finished and uploaded, and details of it (preferably on a notecard) submitted to
Chaffro Schoonmaker by Sunday 5 June 2011, one week before the festival.
- Your film, when completed, must be uploaded to an online video-sharing site, such as YouTube or Vimeo (or others) and must be able to be linked for play in-world.
- Your film must feature
AT LEAST ONE tiny. Tinies that feature in the film do not have to be members of either of the Raglan groups.
- The film content must be PG, in line with our community guidelines. No explicit language or text (e.g. subtitles) will be permitted. Any films containing either of these will be barred from the festival.
- Your film can already have been made, but it can't be a film entered into last year's Film Festival - we want new stuff! It does not to have been produced within the time frame between now and the festival.
