I guess there’s no escaping this “book trailer” business, is there?

Stephen King to Judge SHOMI book trailer contest.
“Dorchester Publishing and Circle of Seven Productions have teamed up to present a contest offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for amateur and professional filmmakers who also love books. Participants will create book trailers based on their favorite novel in the SHOMI series of modern-day fantasy fiction. The best trailer—as selected by internationally bestselling author Stephen King—will be shown at a movie premiere in New York City as well as a theater in the winner’s home market.”
Holy crap, Batman!
That actually sounds really cool. I still hate book trailers and the whole idea behind them because they seem like a cheap marketing gimmick that will lose popularity in the same way other trends do. Generally they’re boring and cheesy and really, really badly made. But then again, I also tend to act like a crochety old woman afraid of progress and change at times. I actually do want to keep an open mind on this.
Deadline is December 30th. Contest is open to U.S residents only 18+. Read submission guidelines here.
