Submission Deadline
10 PM on July 21, 2011

Submit all articles to...
mattehavoc@gmail.com

Hey everyone, it is D.J. Heinlein from the blog site Matte Havoc. My apology for such a late notice with the announcement of the candidate for the next Director’s Chair installment, but I was a bit distracted with my preparations for the San Diego Comic-Con which is just around the corner. For the eighteenth installment of the LAMBs in the Director’s Chair series I will be keeping everything as simple as possible, like what was done for the last installment, by listing the URL links to all of the submissions in a single published article. The candidate for the upcoming installment is controversial film director Roman Polanski. All of the articles that can be submitted may cover any topic about his career as a director. If you would like to send in a bunch of reviews for his films or maybe a couple of editorials about how the behind-the-scenes controversy he has faced in real life may have influenced his artistic work. Approach the topic with any method or form of inspiration that works for you as long as you stay relevant to the topic of his career as a director and his film work.

Now for those of you who have never participated in this event before I would like to present the basic list of instructions and rules for participation in the series. The golden guideline would be that all participants must be a current member of the LAMBs or at least on the waiting list for approval to become a member. The second guideline of participation in the series would be for everyone to write and publish an article about the candidate who has been selected for the event. The focus of every article must stay within the arena of the person’s career as a movie director. The third and final item on the list of guidelines is an uncompromising rule of meeting the deadline for submission. Every article that you would like to submit for the event must be e-mailed to DJ Heinlein [ mattehavoc@gmail.com ] by 10 PM the night before the first day of the event. If you would like to submit an article that you published a couple of months or years ago I will accept them for participation in the event. Make sure to include a direct URL link to every article that you would like to submit. There is no minimum or maximum number of articles that can be submitted.

On a side note I usually ignore e-mails filled with explanations and plans of publishing an article for the event. My inbox fills up very quickly with submissions for this event and I might over look a submission by accident if I am spending time deleting e-mails that are filled with explanations about future publishing instead of valid and direct links to articles that are already available online. The best way to get involved in the series is to publish the article and then submit the link by e-mail. No explanations are necessary.

If you have any questions about the event you can e-mail them to me and I will respond as quickly as possible. Listed below are a few promotional graphics that you can post on your blog site to help promote the event. Have fun and knock yourself out with your reviews and editorials.
