About the Challenge
Our goalThe 10 Day Film Challenge is an intense and invigorating 10 school days in which teams of students make a movie—write, shoot, edit and score it—in just 10 school days -- during their film class periods only!
On Day 1, the Challenge will release to the students the character including his/her backstory, a prop, a line of dialogue, a cinematic technique and genre that must be included in their movie. Then, 10 school days later, a 3-4 minute movie must be complete. Finally, the best films, will appear in a public, online screening with awards handed out through an audience choice process. Raising the bar for student filmmakers is our goal and this is how we do it. SEE MORE ABOUT OUR DIRECTORS. |
