Move over Hollywood A-Listers, BEER is the new lead actor in town.
The Monterey Beer Festival on June 5th,2010 and the Great American Beer Festival (Denver) in September 2010 will show the “first-ever” Short Pour Film Festival, entirely based on the subject of BEER.
The Short Pour Film Fest will showcase original short films, clips from Beer TV shows,
Vintage & Modern Beer Commercial, Music Videos about Beer, Movies about Beer and clips from “BEER WEEKS” around the United States.
Included will be lighthearted looks at brew, including personal stories about drinking beer and brewery films from “Brewers” who’ll reveal their secrets in beer making.
Are you a beer geek with some sweet filming skills? Or are you a professional videographer with some sweet beer geeking skills? If you’d like to submit a short film/video, being a bonafide beer connoisseur isn’t necessary for the creative process – just having a “personal connection” to brew will suffice.
All film submissions are free of charge to submit. First Prize (the best film submission) is an all expensive paid trip for two to attend the Beer Fest & Film Fest in Monterey.

“Beer is now the celebrity of the beverage world, due to the quality of beer products available throughout the U.S. We can thank our great American Breweries(both big & small), import beer companies and beer distribution companies for giving us such a vast and diverse amount of incredible beer to enjoy.” — Jeff Mosses, event organizer.
For the 2010 MBF, over 5,000 loyal beer drinkers are expected to be in attendance. Last years’ MBF was a sold out event.
