Re: Pitch your idea and win $15,000

For the record, not only are filmaka contests only open to film-makers over the age of 18 (learned that the hard way), but filmaka has a terrible history of dealing with prize money. I know film-makers who still haven't gotten their prize money from contests a year ago.

Not to discourage anyone from entering, but...       

...yeah, I wouldn't recommend entering.
