CAmm Slamm 2007!


During the last weekend of September, Creative Alliance, a film organization based in Baltimore City, held their annual “CAmm Slamm” event.

CAmm Slamm takes place over the entire weekend. Starting on a Friday, filmmakers are told a prop that they must use at some point during the film... this year, it was duct tape. They are then given 48 hours to complete an original short film. The entire film MUST be shot and edited during that weekend. Finally the event ends with a screening at the Senator Theatre on York Road, minutes from Towson University.

It's a great local event and a good opportunity to support filmmakers trying to make a name in Baltimore. Before the event, there were drinks and mingling. After the screening, two groups of winners were announced. The first was chosen by a panel of judges and second was the audience choice awards.

Prizes ranged from cases of Natty Boh to gift certificates worth hundreds of dollars. A fun way to spend $8 and a Sunday night.

The winners are listed here.
