In The Know Short Film Competition

Anyone who has struggled with infertility knows the emotional and physical burden of trying to conceive. Despite the fact that 1 in 8 couples experience infertility, many feel isolated and alone in their journey. The In The Know Short Film Competition encourages those 7.3 million Americans affected by infertility to share their stories and provide hope and encouragement to others.

The first-ever In The Know Short Film Competition, sponsored by RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association and Fertility LifeLines™, a free patient resource provided by EMD Serono, begins this week in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week® — a time when patients, healthcare professionals, volunteers, families and friends join together to promote greater awareness about infertility.

Those who have been touched by infertility can participate in the competition by submitting a creative, inspirational short film about their path to parenthood (or the journey of someone close to them), to provide support to others in the midst of their own fertility struggle. Please see www.FertilityLifeLinesfilms.com for complete contest rules.

Submit your entries for the In The Know Short Film Competition TODAY! The deadline to submit entries is July 1, 2009.

Submitted films will be reviewed by a panel of judges, and competition finalists will have their films screened at a festival in New York City this fall where a winner and runners-up will be chosen and awarded prizes. The winner will receive $1,000 and two runners-up will each be given $500.
