The Flux to hold second iPod Film Festival

The Flux today announced that it will hold its 2007 iPod Film Festival geared films specifically formatted for playback on Apple's iPod. The second year of the festival promises free entry, and the company expects a greater response due to an increased number of iPod owners. "We learned a lot from last year's groundbreaking festival, including the fact that people don't like to pay to submit their film," said Flux founder Ryan Ritchey. "Thanks to Small Dog, we've eliminated the entry fee. There are so many new iPod owners since the last festival, that we expect a great response from people looking for fresh, fun films to watch on the iPod" This year's festival includes a podcast feed of all films, as well as a new voting system combining viewer voting and judging by a professional panel. The Flux is accepting entries through March 18th in three categories which include Student Film, Independent Film, and 'The Kitchen Sink.'
