Hasta La Gadget!

If you don’t have an iPad yet and you want one, and you live in New York City, you could get your wish thanks to Beneath The Earth Films’ scavenger hunt. The contest pits movie junkies in New York City against one another. Each team gets seven clues to help identify the movie, the location, and the scene in question. They then have to rush to the location the movie was filmed to re-enact the scene in front of their own camera, and get a snapshot. Teams then upload the photos to Beneath The Earth Films, show them off on Facebook, and the best series of photos will earn one lucky winner an iPad.

The scavenger hunt is designed to drum up interest in Beneath The Earth Films and its new all-online film festival, which is the result of a year-long quest for indie movies and film projects that deserve wide distribution. Registration for the contest is open to September 4, 2010. On September 4, all the participating teams will get the clues and will have until midnight, September 6, to upload their photos and complete the hunt. There’s even a prize for the fastest to finish — even if they may not be the best. If you’re a huge movie buff and you’re a native of the Big Apple, this is the contest for you.
