MOFILM to sponsor London Film Festival

Mobile film specialist to host second UGC competition during October showcase.

The new contest will replicate the format of the MOFILM U12 Cannes Lions competition, in which major brands invited amateur film makers to produce mobile movie shorts.

Entrants will create a 90 second advertisement based on a creative brief and upload it to the MOFILM website before the closing date. The competition is open to anyone over the age of 16.

There is $200,000 in prizes to be won and the winning advertisement will also be played prior to the MOFILM Gala at the Festival.

Andy Baker, CEO of MOFILM, said: "We are thrilled to be working with the London Film Festival and so many exciting brands to provide this global showcase for ordinary filmmakers and the MOFILM community.

"It's fantastic that London, one of the most prestigious international film festivals in the world, is supporting emerging talent in this way."
