Not content to simply assist local actors, the New Mexico Film Foundation has also partnered with Lockheed Martin for the $5,000 “... and what now?” filmmaking contest. The winning director will receive a $5,000 grant to produce a 3 to 5-minute film on the subject of human space exploration. Lockheed Martin is a prime contractor building NASA’s next generation spacecraft, the Orion. The Orion’s first test flight will take place later this year. Lockheed Martin will share the winning “... and what now?” film as part of its public outreach program. The submission process closes out on Aug. 15. All you need to do is send a one-page treatment for an idea that deals with the theme of human deep space exploration. The New Mexico Film Foundation and a panel of space industry experts led by astronaut Bruce McCandless II will evaluate the submissions and choose a winner. If selected, you will have until Nov. 15 to complete your short film. For further details go to nmfilmfoundation.org.
