Robbie
Williams Unveils The 80s
Film
Contest
Robbie
Williams
is inviting budding
directors to create a
short music film for his
song The 80s.
The
star will help judge the
work with Jonathan Ross
and filmmaker Lord
Puttman.
The
80s features on the
32-year-old singer's
latest album,
Rudebox.
Robbie
Williams has asked
seven, young independent
film makers to provide
films to complement the
album.
The
person who wins the
competition to make the
film receives
£7,500, while the
film could also be
broadcast.
Robbie
Williams said: "This is
the record I've always
wanted to make. It's
reignited how I think
about what I can do with
music myself. Rudebox
was done in a guerrilla
way, no plan of action,
it just evolved into
what it is naturally.
That's what I like about
film today and why I
wanted to do this
project and competition.
Just like in music today
you can create a
masterpiece out of an
iBook and some digital
footage, as much as you
can in a fancy studio.
I'm very excited to see
what the film-makers can
come up
with."
