We’re looking for a kick ass person to join our team to assist with fall promotions for the Filmed by Bike 2011 festival call for movie entries. This is an excellent opportunity for on-the-job learning under the tutelage of a very organized team spearheaded by two people with extensive expertise in event organization and marketing. One of our former interns is entering his third year assisting the festival with high-level projects and we have an extremely dedicated volunteer crew.

The festival grows every year with the assistance of our interns and staff who conduct extensive outreach to filmmakers around the world.

We’re looking for a kick ass artist to design the 2011 Filmed by Bike poster. Every year, this poster, printed by our partners at Stumptown Printers, gives space to a different artist. The poster is printed on a heavy stock and offset, high quality printing on the old fashioned machines at Stumptown.

There are no logos on the poster and each year has been wildly different. We pay our poster artist $200 and take great pride in finding an amazing artist to showcase through this piece.

If you wish to be considered for this year’s poster, send us examples of your work, or a mock up of what you’d like to propose for our 2011 poster. If you are making a mock up, please take into consideration the following elements:
* April 15-17, 2011 – Clinton Street Theater – Portland, Oregon, USA
* Our logo
* FilmedByBike.org
* 11×17
* Bleeds are possible
* Landscape or portrait

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 28, 2010

SEND TO: Info@FilmedByBike.org

Summertime! What a great time to be out shooting your next bike movie for Filmed by Bike. Deadline for entries is 1/20/2011. Sure, you’ve got plenty of time to get that piece together, but nothing ruins a shooting session more than a downpour of rain, something not likely to happen at this time of year (depending on where you live).

So grab your camera and head on out to document your fun summertime adventures or put to work on earnest shooting effort that will afford you plenty of time to edit down your awesome piece for next year’s festival.

Good luck and happy summertime bike adventures from all of us on Team Filmed by Bike!
