Raglan Arts Film Festival Awards’ creatives can breathe a sigh of relief as the deadline for film submissions has been pushed to October. After a tough start to the year for school-aged filmmakers, RAFFA spokesperson Karla Rix-Trott says the decision was made to allow more time for their creativity to develop. “One of the great things about the RAFFAs is the amazing films we receive from the younger creatives in the community.
One of the goals of the awards is to encourage upcoming filmmakers and we want to give them more time to create movie magic.” The RAFFA team have come up with a list of themes to inspire creativity but say there are no limits on the subject matter. “The only real limit is the filmmakers’ imaginations. We just wanted to help spark some creativity,” Karla says.
This year, Tamariki and Rangatahi entrants who get their films in by the due date of Monday 17 October, 2pm will go into a lucky prize draw for $100
