MacMegasite

July 29, 2004 - iMovieFest.com, a new Web site community for Mac users, gives creative outlet to amateur filmmakers around the world. iMovieFest.com makes it easy for anyone with a video camera and a copy of iMovie or other Mac video-editing software to show off their movies online. The site gives everyone a chance to showcase their digital movies and receive ratings, reviews, and real-time movie statistics in return.

Basic membership at iMovieFest.com is free and not only gives filmmakers the ability to share movies with the world, the site also offers free sound effects, iMovie tutorials, filmmaking resources, and active forums for it’s members. The site also offers an optional VIP upgrade where filmmakers can show an unlimited number of movies on the site, along with other VIP perks. In late August, iMovieFest.com will release the details of their first Mac filmmaking contest for its members. The site also has plans to offer video hosting this fall.

In the last two weeks since its launch, iMovieFest.com has grown to almost 700 members and more than 150 active movies. For those not interested in making movies, the site offers indie film entertainment covering most popular genres from documentaries to action movies. Audiences are encouraged to rate and review movies they have seen.

iMovieFest.com is the most effective and cost efficient way to get Mac-made movies seen by a global audience, including those in search of new talent. Unlike other film sites, iMovieFest.com allows filmmakers to retain the rights to their movies. Amateur filmmakers can get their movies in front of a worldwide audience by joining iMovieFest.com located at http://www.imoviefest.com

iMovieFest.com is owned by MNM Productions, LLC., a private Austin, Texas based partnership started by two amateur filmmakers. iMovieFest.com is an independent website and is not affiliated with Apple Computer, Inc.
