The Society is committed to honoring 3D excellence and this competition will allow us to focus industry attention on the best short films and filmmakers says Jim Mainard head of digital strategy for DreamWorks Animation and Society chairman. Powered by Nvidia and Fordela the competition is open to any short subject work of 40 minutes or less. Filmmakers can upload their works to a secure 3D website at: 3DindyCompetition.com.
