It’s
that time of year again … time for The Beating Film Festival at
Silverton. The online viewer’s choice competition starts today on nossaTV, the action sports video on demand site.

Voting for the best video will take place from now until January 1st. Fans can learn more about The Beating on the festival page. In order to vote, viewers must first login or create an account on nossaTV. Then head over to The Beating 2008 channel
and rank each film from one (lowest) to five stars (highest) in overall
impression. Fans are encouraged to download the nossaTV media player
and watch the videos full screen. The DVD quality playback will help
users decide their favorite films. Limited to five short films, it
won’t take you long to rate the videos, and you’ll be helping a
hard-working filmmaker out this holiday season.

The
winner will be announced at the film festival Friday, January 4th, at
Miner’s Union Theater. With record-breaking early season snowfall,
copious amounts of swag to win at the show, and unlimited stoke from
standing-room only crowd, you should make every effort to get to
Silverton for The Beating!

“The
viewer’s choice award is a great way for aspiring filmmakers to win
some cash,” says Jen Brill of Silverton. Last year’s winner also
pocketed $500 from nossaTV, while the overall festival winner won a
tour of Studio 411.

This is the third film festival powered by
nossaTV. The “new-ish” video on demand site hosted the voting for the
first Beating in December of 2006, and hosted the voting for the
Steamboat Mountain Film Festival earlier this fall.


About The Beating

Now
it it’s second year, The Beating is a new amateur ski and snowboard
film festival showcasing undiscovered talent. Hosted in Silverton,
Colorado by the Silverton Mountain Ski Area, The Beating is designed to
be the “core” version of “The Meeting” (held in Aspen) where the top
‘pimpin’ big budget ski films of the year premiere. The event will
also help raise money for Silverton Mountain’s High School scholarship
ski program. This year’s sponsors include Final Draft editing
software, Studio 411, and K2, who is contributing a pair of Pontoons.
What better to surf the deep pow at Silverton?
