CALL FOR PICTURES: VIDEOLETTER TO HARVEY MILK
17 October 2013
Thank you once again to everyone who submitted imagery for this project. It is now online and you can watch it here.
I also had a very enjoyable time at the Letters Festival in Milan, and have written about how the screenings and festival went on my blog here.

I'm really happy to write that I've been selected to make a videoletter film for the Festival Delle Lettere, taking place in Milan from the 4 - 6 October 2013. I am creating a short film based on a letter written to Harvey Milk about the inspiration of his integrity and positivity, and I need your help.
I would really love it if you could send me photos, pictures, illustrations and short videos that represent what makes life good for you. Whether you snapped a blurry picture or video on your phone walking home from work, or have spent time drawing a beautiful illustration, I want to hear from you.
Conditions
- You must have taken the photo or made the picture yourself.*
- If there are people in your picture, you must have their permission, and by submitting I will presume you have this (though I will probably crop their faces out).
- Once I've put your image in my film, it will become a part of the film and through that could be seen anywhere it is screened (e.g. Festival Delle Lettere and vimeo), or used as a promotional still.
- No x rated photos please - there are more subtle ways to represent the x rated things in life.
- Let me know if you don't want your name or Twitter/Instagram handle included in any credits.
How to submit
Please email them to contact@helennias.co.uk, or mention @helennias on Twitter or Instagram by 6pm GMT on Monday 30 September.
Feel free to ask any questions, spread the word, tweet, and thank you very much in advance - I will do my best to keep everybody who submitted an image informed on the film's progress.
*This is to attempt to avoid stealing imagery from artists/illustrators/photographers/the general public - if I'm unsure about an image I will try and pop it into a google image search but I can't guarantee to do this.
