Assassin's Creed film contest

By Tom Bramwell Published 26 June, 2007

For them in America. Curses.

Ubisoft and the Independent Film Channel (IFC) have launched a short-film contest to support the release of Assassin's Creed this November.

Sadly it's only open to those of you reading this from across the pond - if you are, you will want to know that you need to sign up on IFC's website and submit a six-minute-or-less film based on the game's themes within the next month.

If you create something the judges like, you could walk off with USD 10,000, an Xbox 360 and a copy of the game.

The rest of you will be able to check out how the winner's done by picking up the Limited Edition of the game, which will include the winning film. It will also be shown on the IFC television network in November.

"Video games, like films, have the ability to tell rich and dynamic stories and the partnership with IFC for the Assassin's Creed short film contest is a way for Ubisoft to show its appreciation to the art," said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft.

"We're excited to see what people bring to the table; I have a feeling we won’t be disappointed."

    lol @ Hughes. I wonder how "limited" this limited editon will be. Probably tin case with extra disk and that's it.

    Im started to get extremely tired of the whole "US only" thing that seems to be going on at the moment - fair enough MS are a US company, but surely they are able to cobble together some half-arsed promotion in the rest of the world that might make them seem a tad less biased???

    Holy hell, what are you talking about numptyboymatt? This is a Ubisoft promotion. Ubisoft is a FRENCH company. This has nothing to do with Microsoft. Before start spewing crap you should at least read what was written.

    Yes, they are a French company, however, I understand that this is being developed in Montreal... although, yes, I did totally misunderstand the article due to reading it whilst at work and being on the phone and trying to do something else at the same time.

    Oh well.
