Film Set Setup

Here's the story

We host challenges where you’ll have six weeks to write, film, and edit a short film of six minutes or less. Each challenge comes with two required elements to incorporate into your film—anything from a line of dialogue or prop to a genre or theme. Participation is open to any experience level, from first-time directors and aspiring writers to seasoned filmmakers.​

HOW DO the challenges WORK?

PULL RULES

At each screening, we'll pull two rules for the next challenge round. One rule will be decided on through a community vote (voted on by screening attendees), and the other rule will be pulled at random. 

step 1

create team

Start building your team for the challenge. Each screening will have a networking portion of the event where you can meet others, but you can also use our Discord channel to connect with other members.

step 2

GET WRITING & FILMING

You'll have 6 weeks to write, film and edit your short.

step 3
