IF GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS, THEN WE SHOULD BE THE BEST OF NEIGHBORS BY NOW.

We’ve become experts at fencing out those who live near us. Avoiding eye contact. Focusing on phones.

Maybe holding open a door if they look friendly. Heck, we’ll give these people nicknames…

Doberman Guy, Trumpet Person, and Lady Of a Thousand Magazines … instead of learning their real names.

This all makes for great fence making, but there’s more to know about the world than just tall, tall pickets.

What’s it going to take to meet the people who live in our building? We’re too independent to even ask

them for a cup of sugar; it’s going to have to be something bigger. Something that a person can’t do alone.

Something that’s equal parts challenging, rewarding, and fun. Something that we all have a basic

knowledge of, but we’ve just never really put that valuable couch-sitting experience to good use.

Something like making a movie.

And just like meeting your neighbors for the first time, it isn’t so scary.

If the person across the hall from you has a smart phone, it probably doubles as camera.

Hold that phone steady, and you’re a cameraperson. Anyone who can tell a story can write a script

(and everyone has stories). Half of the battle of acting is feeling comfortable, and where are you

more comfortable than your own neighborhood?

Because when it comes down to it, making movie is no big deal, but what it could do for a block… is.

OUR MISSION

On My Block is a not-for-profit, volunteer run film challenge launched in 2012 that brings communities closer

together by inviting filmmakers of all levels to create a short one to five minute narrative or documentary

videos on their block, using their block’s residents as cast and crew. This challenge is open to any and all

residents living in the five boroughs.

We believe that neighborhoods can improve by neighbors simply developing relationships with each other.

We want to gift our city with stronger neighborhoods and stories from across the map to add to our archives.

THE 2013 ON MY BLOCK FILM CHALLENGE

The second annual challenge will kick off July 1, all eligible films will be posted and screened online from the time

they are finished until October 31, 2013.

Viewers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite short film on Vimeo from July 1 through October 31, 2013.

A panel will judge the 30 films with the most votes the first week of November 2013, of which the top 15 films will be

entered into the festival.

The top 15 films will be screened at a festival on November 11th at SVA to over 500 attendees. Awards will be

presented for Best Narrative Film, Best Documentary Film and Best In Show.
