Miller Camera has announced it is a supporter of the 'My RØDE Reel' international short film competition, first launched in 2014 and returning this year.

The prize pool for 2015 is now at more than $200,000, including three DS20 Solo 75 Carbon Fibre Systems and one Carbon Fibre Air Tripod System from Miller. Last year's competition saw RØDE receive 1,120 entries from 76 countries worldwide, with nine category winners sharing a total prize pool of over $70,000.

Entrants are required to create a short film of three minutes or less, as well as a behind-the-scenes reel that features a RØDE product being used during the production of the film.

There are three main awards and corresponding prize packs of filmmaking gear available to win—a Judges' Film award for the best short film in competition, a Judges' BTS award for the best behind-the-scenes reel a publicly-voted People’s Choice award for the most popular short film. Each winner will be presented with a production filmmaking kit valued at more than $40,000.

Additional technical and genre awards, and prize packs, are available for Best Sound Design, Best Soundtrack and more, and for the first time in 2015 RØDE has announced a Young Filmmaker award, to acknowledge and encourage entrants under the age of 18.

The judging panel includes Philip Bloom, Ryan Connolly, Vincent LaForet and Rodney Charters.

"We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Miller for My RØDE Reel 2015," says Scott Emerton, RØDE’s global marketing manager. "It’s important to us that we only work with the very best companies, and it goes without saying that Miller is the best in the world at what it does. Together we’re aiming to challenge the creativity of filmmakers worldwide, and reward the very best with some incredible prizes."

"Miller is once again thrilled to partner with RØDE, fellow Australian iconic brand, as together, we support upcoming industry influencers in their quest to develop their filmmaking passions," says Charles Montesin, global marketing and sales manager, Miller. "Since the company’s inception more than sixty years ago, Miller prides itself on pioneering the film and television industries with its innovative inventions. The My RØDE Reel contest provides a platform for tomorrow’s generation to do just that—lead through innovation, and it is a great honor to be able to help these up-and-comers turn their ideas into something tangible."
