  Universities compete in Pioneer's extreme DVD making competition
Time: 12:35 EST/17:35 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: David Gasior

Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. has announced that nine film schools from the U.S. and Canada will compete for $20,000 in grants from Project Pioneer 2880, an extreme DVD making competition using new high speed DVD burners to go from script to final DVD in less than 48 hours. Writer, director and film competition winner, Pete Jones of HBO's Project Greenlight has signed on as creative consultant, creating the story concepts that students will use as the basis for their entries.

Jones also will lead the panel of judges who will select three finalists to participate in a screening event at the Consumer Electronics Show on January 9 in Las Vegas.

Nine universities will be competing for a $10,000 grand prize grant and $5,000 for grants for two runner-up schools. Each team will be given a scenario to follow and will be required to finalize a script, recruit a cast, determine shooting locations, film, edit and burn up to a 10-minute short onto DVD, all within a 48 hour (2880 minute) timeframe.
