Awards & Prizes

Rules & Terms

Films must be between 2-5 minutes in length, telling a story. Focus on themes of rural living (not in a town or city) and target farming, open spaces, being rooted to the land, and/or going on a journey.

Tips:
Choose a subject you know something about, and tell a story with compelling characters that takes the viewer on a journey with a clear beginning, middle and end. Make sure all visual imagery adds to the meaning of the story and supports strong character development. Focus on smooth transitions between scenes to make a moving and memorable film.

Norfolk County Public Library has a film studio at the Simcoe branch which can be booked, free of charge, for a three hour period. Here is a link:
