Special Projects

Major Partners have the opportunity to “own” a distinct property within the festival. This could be a special initiative with one of our filmmakers, naming rights to a category, or the commission of a short film for commercial use. Tropfest has a strong track record of delivering fresh and creative solutions for partner, with some recent examples below.

		Movie Extra Movie Extra produces the official live broadcast plus associated content across TV and online platforms.
		Telstra Telstra sponsors our mobile category, Telstra Mobile Masterpieces, and makes all Tropfest films available for mobile download after the event.
		YouTube YouTube houses our TropShorts catalogue as well as platform for entrants to submit their films online for judging.
		Mitsubishi The Lancer Supershort Series was a branded filmmaker initiative with a fully integrated marketing campaign to launch the new Lancer.
		SMH The Sydney Morning Herald produce the annual DVD of all finalist films as well as the Official Festival Program.
		Jameson Jameson has used Tropfest as a platform to launch their own screenwriting competition, as well as hosting a bar-lounge at the festival.
		Wedgewood Wedgewood commissioned a film to celebrate their 250th anniversary in 2009, and were also the official picnic hamper sponsor that year.
		Onitsuka Tiger We created a new category for Trop Jr, the Onitsuka Tiger Award (for fearless filmmaking), with the winner commissioned to make a short film inspired by the Onitsuka Tiger brand.
