Years ago, PROJECT GREEN LIGHT offered new talents a platform to compete but it was short lived for obvious reasons, the business model didn’t work. The movies lost money. Unlike all of these different platforms that had good intentions in helping discover new talent, at YOUPIX.ORG, we have eliminated many mistakes to dramatically increase the odds of success for this new indie platform. 

• Budget: Up to $500k.
• Less competition: You will never compete with more than 999 other contestants.
• Submission Fee: Multiple coverage and feedback on your work – great value considering the submission fee. Standard coverage fees in Hollywood is up to double our Submission Fee.
• Business model: Will allow us to continue to run the competition as long as contestants are willing to participate – True democratic filmmaking.
• Best of all: The winners actually get to make a feature length movie. A real movie. The others can keep their trophies. MORE

Prepare to submit your projects to the 3D Stereo Media Market, free registration

3D Film Mart (3DFM) 3-6 December 2013., now in its 3rd edition, is the first European co-production market for stereoscopic-3D (S-3D) movies.

The 3D Film Mart was developed by 3D Stereo MEDIA in association with TWIST and peacefulfish. 3DFM is partially funded by the MEDIA Program of the European Commission (EC), and is thus an official project of the EC. This gives it a wide visibility and a significant notoriety in Europe and beyond.

Our co-production market works as follows. Producers of 3D contents (for cinema, TV, ...) who have projects for S-3D contents (feature, documentary, animation, alternative content, ...) at an early stage of development, and are looking for financing, are invited to submit their projects to the market. Since the primary goal of the market is to boost the production of quality 3D content and to be educational, we strongly encourage producers that lack experience in S-3D but are successful in 2D movie making - or in some other form of art - to submit their first S-3D project, thereby using the market as a way to get up to speed in the demanding world of 3D!
