OVERVIEW FOR PARTICIPANTS

Objective – complete a film, within 36 hours by following the rules!

• The rules are simple and all teams will obtain the final five(?) elements during the kick-off meeting. The elements may include genre, prop, dialogue, location and character.
• Then, watches are synchronized and you’re off in a “mad dash” to complete the film!
• Films will be judged and in two weeks, we will screen the films and announce Best Film.
