Events Description
We are very excited to be hosting our annual 48hr Mobile Device Filmmaking Challenge.
This event is open to all Alberta Residents. You must pre-register to have 3 secret elements emailed to you at the start of the challenge – will be emailed at 6pm on Friday May 23. The three elements must be included in your film. All films must be recorded on a mobile device. Editing can be done on a computer.
All completed films will be screened on Sunday June 1 via an on-line watch party – with the winners being announced at the end!
There will be 4 awards:
Best 48hr Film
Best Use of Secret Elements
Best Marketed
Best First time Filmmaker
These 4 top films will be screened at the annual Edmonton Short Film Festival in October and be eligible for screening fees and the People’s Choice Award.
First time Filmmaker Category: A first time filmmaker may have shot and edited a film for a student project or for personal use (such as family videos).
