Meiwenti Network — Independent Film Distribution Network

This summer, Meiwenti will be holding its very first Global Film Contest. Wow! Several cities around the planet will host an exciting race, where filmmakers have one month to make an improvised short film. The theme for the contest is Assholes and Assholettes, and all movies must include a few requirements that challenge the filmmakers’ creativity. The movies will compete in their own cities, and the winners will battle for the Global Winner award in August. Read on if you’re not a chicken…

Mei Wenti Network has launched a Mobile Phone Film Contest.

Grab your mobile phone,
direct a clip with the theme "FRIENDS" and send it to mobile@meiwentinetwork.com by 18th of June, 2009. The first prize is a E71 Nokia mobile phone, with prizes also for second and third positions. Be creative and have FUN !!!

In the summer of 2005, a group of film-lovers in Shanghai got together and decided it was time to make filmmaking accessible to the public.

The task at bay was not easy, but the infant film movement had an attitude: Meiwenti, which means "No problem" in Mandarin Chinese. After a lot of struggle, hard-work, laughter and even some tears, Meiwenti prevailed!

The Meiwenti Network's idea is to promote active socializing among movie enthusiasts in cities worldwide. We want our members to meet new friends and discuss motion pictures in diverse events, from movie screenings to film contests and festivals. And once the discussion is over, inspired projects will be launched. Through our website features and tools in the near future, we will promote ideas and solution sharing, movie production resource sharing, network building, job opportunities and more.

The Meiwenti worldwide network is seeking new promoters in cities where we are not yet present.
We are looking for enthusiastic independent filmmakers or film festival organisers who have the drive and charisma to create film communities in their cities. If you think you have what it takes, please contact us.

The Meiwenti Network empowers everyone to produce high-quality independent films cost-effectively. Our distribution network provides independent motion picture producers an enthusiastic worldwide audience. We enhance career-building experience and cultural exchange in the film industry, from novices to professionals.

Beyond the Meiwenti short film contests, Meiwenti and its members have taken part in many short film projects over the years. Some of these have gone on to receive attention in International film festivals.
