A Fraction of the Whole Promotional Film Clip Competition Penguin Australia has launched the A Fraction of the Whole Promotional Film Clip Competition. As part of the launch of Steve Toltz’s uproariously funny and philosophical novel, Penguin is putting the call out for original promotional film clips based around the book. Toltz’s debut, A Fraction of the Whole, is a rampaging, exuberant story of one man and his quest to understand his brilliant yet dysfunctional father. It’s been described as a ‘sprawling, dizzying debut from a quirky, assured Australian writer’ by Publishers Weekly, and a ‘hilarious, sneaky, smart first novel’ by Booklist and delves into the spiritual symmetry that binds a father and son in a wholly ridiculous modern world. The winning promotional film clip may be used as part of Penguin’s marketing campaign and the winner will receive $5,000. Open to all budding film-makers, entries need to be between thirty and sixty seconds in length. Four runners-up will receive a Penguin book library at the value of $1000. Entries must be received by Monday 21st January, 2008.
