With the advancements in digital technology, the ordinary movie viewing experience will change, and this is why we are brought the technology to our festival. The use of the DLP technology will enhance the audience’s experience by allowing them to observe the films as they are meant to be viewed. The technology allows most independent filmmakers to keep their exhibition formats as close to the original shooting format of their project, while reducing transfer costs.
The Great Lakes Independent Film Festival is the first film festival world wide to completely exploit the DLP projection technology by Texas Instruments.
The Great Lakes Independent Film Festival horror categories for scripts and films will include Horror, Thrillers, Science Fiction, Suspense, Grindhouse Horror, Horror Documentary, Horror Animation, and student films and scripts.
The annual screenwriting competition is a way for new and veteran scriptwriters to possibly get the break they need.
Prizes for the winning script will include cash award of $500.00. The winning script will be forwarded to agents and industry professionals for consideration.
If there is anything as universal as the ageless storytelling of motion pictures, it’s the music that makes up life’s soundtrack.
The 2008 Great Lakes Independent Film Festival shall accept music videos from around the world of cross continent and cross-genre productions. We shall accept music videos of all ranges from pop, punk, rock, alt-country, country-western, folk, reggae, hip-hop to electronica, jazz, blues, Zydeco, industrial, gothic, karaoke, avant-garde, world music, and experimental.

2008 Great Lakes Storyboard Competition
The Great Lakes Film Association is proud to announce its annual storyboard competition for 2008. All genres of storyboards will be accepted nationally and internationally for the 2008 competition.
A storyboard visually coveys the plot and action of a scene, shot, whole film or a commercial. Storyboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of previsualizing a motion graphic or interactive media sequence, including website interactivity.
The competition judges will be looking for skills in the development and communication of a strong, innovative, well-realized idea and technique and less about beautifully rendered storyboards.

2008 Final Frontier ConFest
In cooperation with IKV Ice Dragon, the Great Lakes Film Association is proud to announce the first annual Star Trek Convention and Independent Star Trek Film Festival in Erie, Pennsylvania November 7th & 8th, 2008.
This is not the kind of Star Trek film festival you may be used to. It will NOT include showings of old episodes or running the Star Trek movies Paramount has released during the last few decades.
This is the first time that a film festival has been born with a convention that will feature a competition between Star Trek fans who have taken their passion for the genre to the next level by filming their own short films, feature length films, and episodes.
To that end, the Great Lakes Film Association officially opens it's call for entries internationally for the 2008 Star Trek confest. The stories are their own creations. The filmmakers produce them on their own without help from Paramount or Viacom. These films range from live action to animation (whether drawn or computer animated) to stop action.
There will be no limit as to how long or short a film can be as long as it has a story and some sort of characters involved. In other words, we do not want to see films featuring just a Federation communicator with music behind it. Just try to be creative!
