SCREAM it off SCREEN Short Film Gong Show is a virtual short film competition that's live-streamed to YouTube, but also has a live in-studio audience. Viewers & audience members work together to determine each film's destiny by voting "LET it PLAY" or "GONG it". Gonged films are cut short & no longer eligible to win the BIG NASTY CA$H PRIZE. All films that did not get gonged will be in the winner's poll & viewers will vote to crown a champ at the end of the night.
All films that meet entry requirements are accepted into the competition and entered into a lottery. 10 films will be randomly drawn from the lottery to compete, live on air, just before showtime. FILMMAKERS MUST COMMIT TO TUNING INTO THE LIVE SHOW ON YOUTUBE & WATCHING UNTIL THE END, REGARDLESS OF THEIR FILM BEING SELECTED. This is a community thing we're trying to build.
This show airs LIVE on YouTube the 2nd Friday of every month. If your film isn't drawn from the lottery, you can keep submitting the same film every month until it's selected. If your film is gonged, you can re-work it, and re-submit, but you must make significant edits first.
BIG NASTY CASH PRIZE of $101.01
The host, Terry, dedicates an original winner's song to the champion, and a photo of the winner with the big check will be posted on our website for all to adorn (forever).
Winners also go on to compete in the Best of 2022 Competition where the prize will be much BIGGER and much NASTIER.
