Filmaka has partnered with General Motors Corporation, the worlds largest automobile manufacturer, to run a new contest. Up to 7 finalists will receive $5000 each!

We want your pitches for shows that will feature some of GM's new vehicles. They are not looking for a traditional commercial, but instead for an engrossing story in which a GM vehicle plays a memorable part. Submit a detailed written synopsis of a film 3 – 5 minutes in length, with 4-5 more episode ideas intended to total around 30 minutes of original webisodic content that can live on its own and potentially be viewed as "pilot" material, as well as your creative extension and distribution recommendations.

From these finalists GM can choose pilots to put into production and provide the appropriate vehicles for the shoot. A complete list of the vehicles GM wants to feature, and more info on the contest can be Found Here on our site. (http://www.filmaka.com/gm/)

We will start accepting submissions (in pdf format) in the middle of next week. Submissions must be in by MARCH 11th – so get cracking.

I got a killer story for you guys at GM:

1) Start making more Green (Hybrid; Biofuel) cars, cut back production on the gas guzzling SUVs and just maybe you might see in increase in profits considering the top two Asian automakers (Toyota; Honda) are making a killing with Green Automobiles both here and in Europe.

You failed to adjust to market forces and wonder why you're ranked among the bottom of ALL automobile manufactures around the world? The world changed. You didn't.

2) Stop shipping jobs to countries outside the U.S. for cheap labor. NAFTA sucks.

Put those two real world elements into practice instead of trying to hawk your non-environmentally friendly products with fancy "film making" contests and other see-through gimmicks and you won't have to resort to such embarrassing and insincere marketing ploys in the future.
