Not $2995 unfortunately.

Maybe there is a surprise we haven't seen yet regarding those.
 
 

Newsshooter interview with Ryan Avery from Veydra about their new lenses: https://vimeo.com/124786321 01:20 he says that their new anamorphic lens is for the GH4 and "the new panasonic camera" 
So, hopefully no fixed lens

​you must be tons of fun on set.

It could be Micra yet.  A camera specifically disgned to be mounted to a nissan micra.

Prototype...

Very welcomed, in my opinion...
"The Veydra Mini Anamorphic Project is an ongoing development project to manufacture true 2X Front Anamorphic lenses exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds camera bodies."
"The Veydra Mini Anamorphic 2X 25mm T2.2 M4/3 should be available at the end of 2015. We will simultaneously develop other longer focal lengths with the aim to make a 3 lens set available sometime in 2016.  Expected pricing per lens is to be around or under $5,000 USD per lens."

here's the name: Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera. 13 stops of DR.

I'm just hoping it's a 2X, and not some 1.33X rubbish ;-)

I couldn't agree more. All Oscar winner movies this year have been shot with Alexa 2.7K sensor. If Hollywood doesn't need 4K more than DR why should we?
I literally love my 2.5K BMCC format and DR. I've dealed with the form factor easily (I use it on tripod or Ronin so no need to handle it), I love the SSD cheap storage I just miss more FPS for slomo.
A BMCC II with 2.5K and 120 fps would be a killer camera!
I wrote about it on BM forum but little response from users and none from BM.

Veydra is launching a new anamorph this sunday. If the build and quality matches the mini primes - we may well be in for a huge treat. 

Come on Pocket 4k!

​+1 for the 4:3 mode and with 3:2 and 1:1 as well like in the GH4.

​For the GH4, I'd also love to see 4:3 mode capable of 23.976 and 24fps, as well as keeping the HDMI output active. Also, if they could somehow manage to record 10bit internally, but i'm sure that's a long shot.

You've got to research your festivals. And then have the willpower NOT to submit to the shitty ones just because it looks like an easy in. There are 100% legit regional festivals that have huge sponsors and attract audiences to the festival. They don't simply rely on who the filmmakers can bring.
I'm leaving in a few days for the Phoenix Film Festival. This is a regional fest in a largely conservative state that attracts more than 23,000 ticket buyers of independent cinema every year. I had a feature-length movie world premiere there in 2013 and we sold out 2 of our 3 screenings without lifting a finger. There are many more like this... deadCENTER in Oklahoma City, Dances With Films in LA, Cinequest, Austin, Sidewalk in Alabama. 
It takes work but there are ways to learn which festivals to submit to. Moviemaker magazine puts out yearly lists of great festivals worth the submission fee. This makes it easy to avoid festivals like the Buffalo-Niagara Fest that pressures filmmakers to buy advertising in their program and whose screenings are routinely attended only by other filmmakers who happened to travel in for the festival.
All in all, there are too many festivals, I agree. Most suck. But there are a select number that do a great job and serve a large audience that's hungry for independent movies. They might be harder to get into, but that's the point right? They have to be more discerning because they've built a reputation based on the movies they program each year. Which points to the real difference i see between successful fests and unsuccessful ones. Successful festivals make the experience of the festival AND the films they screen into the main attraction, unsuccessful ones rely only on who the films attract, which as we know, often doesn't amount to jack shit.
I've learned to navigate through the garbage and thankfully, it's been more years than i can count where i had the misfortune to attend a festival I'd describe as "lonely".
