Movie Extra Tropfest announces that filmmakers have just four weeks to get their film or mobile short into the world's largest short film festival – the 19th Movie Extra Tropfest and mobile film category Telstra Mobile Masterpieces.

The deadline for both is Thursday 6 January 2011 and Tropfest is urging film buffs to grab their mobile phone or camera and start shooting now for a chance to shine. Finalist's films are screened to a massive live audience at events across Australia on Sunday 20 February 2011, and broadcast live to homes across the nation on Subscription TV channel MOVIE EXTRA.

Whether you are a novice or have a few films under your belt, Tropfest is open to anyone who is eager to tell a story through film. To enter, all you have to do is create a film that is no longer than seven minutes. In Tropfest tradition, your films for both Movie Extra Tropfest and Telstra Mobile Masterpieces must contain the 2011 Movie Extra Tropfest Signature Item – KEY.
