For those who haven't already seen Coleman and Axelsen in action in our show...
The Hunted is part "Buffy", part "Cops" where we attempt to prove the existence
of vampires though our sword-slinging, vampire slaying reality web series.
And now we're giving you (yes you, not your buddy who never returned your
hammer) the chance to create your own Hunted episode and win $1000! That's
right, $1000! Not a sewing machine or an iphone faceplate, $1000 freakin dollars
people! For a 6-8 minute video? That's over $100 a minute! Never shot anything
in your life? Well neither had the winners of the last contest. Check out what
they had to say:

So no excuses - grab a camera, shoot a fight, show some fangs, make us laugh,
and bam - you're done!
Our new official title is Second International Hunted Film Festival and Youtube
Competition. Yea, it's a bit pretentious, but we're registering with
http://www.withoutabox.com (international festival submission site) which will
give us international exposure. We will also be approaching a few new celebrity
judges (to be announced). For a past list of judges, see
http://thehuntedtv.blogspot.com/2009/05/youtube-contest-judges-announced.html
So we're talking $1000, international exposure, new surprise celebrity judges,
and a possible screening at the 2010 CUT Film Festival in LA where Joss Whedon
will be featured with projects from "Buffy" to "Dr. Horrible". Did I also
mention there's no submission fee? And you keep all rights to your own video.
Come on guys, you got no excuses, nothing to lose. Go for it - give it a shot!
Come to the dark side - we have cookies.
