Speaking of collaboration, MixBit is currently holding a collaborative trailer competition in connection with the 2014 Slamdance Film Festival. To compete, filmmakers whose films have been accepted into the festival will agree to upload their trailers to the MixBit website. Then, Slamdance attendees and the MixBit community can remix the high-quality clips and repurpose the trailers in various creative ways. The competition is live at www.MixBit.com/Slamdance and runs through Jan. 3, 2014, a couple of weeks before the festival kicks off. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]
