When is Couch Fest Films?
Right now Couch Fest is going to be the Saturday, November 6th, 2010.
How long will Couch Fest be?
The first program will start at 12pm and run until 5pm.
What if I want to go see the amazing short films?
Well, of course you'll want to go see the other films. You have good taste in films and film fests. All hosts will be invited to watch the films beforehand. This way you won't miss out.
What am I expected to do?
Oh, this is where it gets interesting. You are, first, suppose to enjoy yourself. To host, you should be excited about opening your glorious residency to film lovers. On the day of the event, a new set of film lovers will be coming to your house every hour. They will watch a 30 minute program of short amazing movies. There will be a 5 minute intermission. At a basic level, you should have a TV and a DVD player. Other than that, it's up to you. Some houses are excited about hosting and have developed themes. Some houses are considering serving homemade lemonade. It's really up to you. Show off.
How many people will be in the house each hour?
Good question. There will be anywhere from five people to the absolute max of twenty respectful people ready to watch films in your dandy house.
Can I sell food or drinks?
We thought about this question. We wondered if it might feel a little tacky selling things to people. But, if you wanted to have a yard sale in front of your house while hosting, well, that would be pretty rad. So, if you aren't sure, just drop us a specific question.
Will I get paid?
Honestly, we can't afford to pay our hosts yet--crap. On the other hand, we will provide a unique day, one non-counterfeit Couch Fest Films T-shirt and one copy of the Couch Fest Films 2010 highlights DVD.
Can I still submit a film?
We probably shouldn't let you but yes you can still submit your film to Couch Fest Films 2010. If your film is selected, we can't be sure that you will host your own film. But, we can discuss that when we get there.
Can I keep what I find under my couch pillows?
We can only hope you find bizarre and unique couch treasures at the end of the day.
