The Shoot Out Boulder History

In October 2004, 74 teams took up the challenge one Friday night to create a short film in 24 hours. An incredible 66 teams made it through the 24-hour challenge, and turned in their videotape by the deadline on Saturday night. Then 30 volunteer preliminary judges watched those 66 seven-minute films to narrow the field to the top ten by Sunday afternoon. Sunday evening our gala screening exhibited those top ten films (plus the best under-18 category film) to a packed house at the historic Boulder Theater. There, twelve industry judges from Boulder and Colorado watched the top 10 films with the enthusiastic Boulder audience, and picked the top artists in their categories, including acting, writing, music and direction, and, of course, the best overall film.

Demographics

Over 100 teams (with an average of 3-5 people each), of amateur and professional filmmakers enter The Shoot Out Boulder. As a group, Boulder County residents are highly educated with the median age range between young adults of 23-35 years old. The median household income of this group is $50-75k.

Over 5000 people are part of the actual audience through screenings and participation in the event, there is another 25,000 that gain indirect exposure through web, newspapers and radio.

For specific catagories like a restaurant, iin exchange we would provide 6 ways of Sponsorship Value:

1) One :30 second commercial spot highlighting your product or service.

2) Screen the spot once between the films at the Gala Screening at the sell out event at the Boulder Theater on Sunday, October 12.

3) Air the spot on Boulder Television during the run up to The Shoot Out Boulder, and a month afterwards when the Top 10 films get screened.

4) Sponsor keeps the spot for their own purposes i.e. hosting it on their website, getting additional airings with another broadcaster, etc.

5) Sponsorship includes logo on website, mention by MC, and logo on screen in-between when movies are not showing.

6) Put the spot on the compilation DVD of the Best Films 2008.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD VOLUNTEERS - People needed between October 8-12, 2008
It's that time of year again - The Shoot Out™ is returning for its fifth year to Boulder, Colorado!! It's one of Boulder's most creative, unique, and fun events.

We offer you the opportunity of working with fellow film-making and film-loving enthusiasts, in a safe and respectful environment, with a common goal of making this the best experience possible for everyone involved.

These positions are volunteer only, and in certain agreed-upon cases, expenses will be paid for gas, etc. Lite meals and refreshments will be provided to all volunteers during the event. The Shoot Out Boulder will also provide T-Shirts to volunteers, and a free ticket to the gala event on Sunday night after the successful completion of the volunteer tasks.

The Shoot Out Boulder is primarily a community-based arts event. We rely on volunteers at every turn of the event. Our volunteers set up pavilions; register teams; provide help and direction; direct communications; assist with the dubbing facilities; check-in final tapes; run the tapes; judge the films; host filmmakers; liaison with industry professionals and help put together the gala event.

We also have a volunteer Board of Directors. We simply would not exist without volunteers. Our volunteers love film, they enjoy high-energy events, and they are promising to return for this year’s event because they had so much fun last year. Our target number of entries will increase by a third this year, and that will mean a need to increase our volunteer base as well.
