LoRes Fest 3.0

The Capitol Cinema Collective is hosting LoRes Fest 3.0, the third in a series of DIY video projects promoting Hartford.

It’s easy. Get a group together to split the registration cost ($50). They give you a disposable video camera for 24 hours and ask you to incorporate one specific element of Hartford somewhere in the footage. The rest is up to you. No editing allowed.

The finished videos are given back to the LoRes coordinators who edit it all into one project which is shown at the 3rd Annual Hartford International Film Festival in November.

We did it two years ago and, as you can see from the picture, it was a blast. Until we fought some guy outside of the Webster Theater, but that’s another story. I think we’re going to do it again this year, but we don’t have the Mexican wrestling masks anymore.
