There has to be a better way!

‘There has to be a better way!’ It’s something we’ve all said at some point
or other, and then inspiration strikes about just what that better way could be.
Sometimes you’re right, and your new, inspired way is better, sometimes it isn’t.

Fidelity® would like short films, no more than 90 seconds, about trying the better
way. Fantastical or realistic, whether they work out or not, it’s the trying that should
be celebrated.

If you download the brief and upload your film by the deadline, you could win the
opportunity to take part in the MOFILM Texas 2012 Awards, where you and a guest
would get to experience Austin, Texas during one of the world’s biggest Music and Film
festivals. To see what happens at a MOFILM event, watch the video of the
London 2011 event
