Description
Calling all film enthusiasts!
We are holding the second ever Five-Minute Film Competition in the Underground Coffeehouse, this May!
On May 20th we will screen the film submissions in the Underground Coffeehouse starting at 7 PM. A panel judges in all the land will judge films based on technical quality, entertainment value, and a certain *je ne sais quoi*. The creators of the winning will be crowned at the end of the night and awarded a monetary prize of $250.
Prompt: Make a film about a group of characters going on a summer vacation trip that goes very wrong.
Guidelines: Films must be between 4.5 to 5.5 minutes long including any credits and acknowledgements. Films must be made specifically for the competition within the submission time frame (April X - May 16). We love horror and spooky vibes but please leave out any gratuitous or unnecessary violence. We reserve the right to reject films with objectionable content. Please ask ahead of time if you're unsure about something you want to include!
Submissions: Films are due by May 16 at 11:59 PM. Email your film to as.films@wwu.edu to submit. Please include any applicable trigger warnings and proof of when the film was made in your submission. Please include captions in your short film.
For any and all questions regarding guidelines, submissions, or anything you might think of, contact us at as.films@wwu.edu
