10x10

10 filmmakers spend one week with 10 entrepreneurs...see what happens. Cucalorus has teamed up with tekMountain to bring filmmakers and entrepreneurial businesses together to make a video in less than a week.

All participating filmmakers and entrepreneurs attended the 10x10 kickoff at tekMountain last night where they met for the first time and started to plan their video production. There is no telling what these creative pairs will come up with, perhaps a fun little music video to give their brand a boost or a mini-docu about their business, or personal piece about themselves, the possibilities are endless. All teams will complete a short video, less than 5 minutes, to air on Sunday, November 16th at TheathreNow on the closing day of the 20th annual Cucalorus Film Festival.

The program is intended to introduce young creatives to emerging businesses and to showcase the growing community of entrepreneurs working in the Cape Fear Region. 10x10 mastermind Norwood Cheek will spend the week interviewing local leaders from the business community to create a mini-doc about the tech scene in Wilmington. This project is made possible by a partnership between Cucalorus, TekMountain, and UNCW's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
