SCREAM it off SCREEN is a short film competition where audience members real-time vote "LET it PLAY" or "GONG it" on each film. It airs LIVE on YouTube the first Friday of every month. It's free to submit and watch. Submissions are open until the Tuesday before each show, and entered into a lottery. 15 contestants are then randomly selected to compete LIVE on YouTube just before the show begins. It's exciting, isn't it?
15 short films compete every month. Audience members vote when a red square enters the corner of the screen. A link to vote is then provided in the chat.
- Films less than 4 minutes get the red light at the half way point.
- Films more than 4 minutes get the red light at the 3 minute mark.
If "GONG it!" is the majority, the film will be cut short and we'll move on to the next. Gonged films are not eligible to win the cash prize, but can be reworked and reentered to a competition in the future.
At the end of the nigh, each viewer casts one vote for their favorite film. The winner will then be announced LIVE on AIR.
BIG NASTY CASH PRIZE of $101.01
Winners also go on to compete in the Best of 2021 Competition where the prize will be much BIGGER and much NASTIER, we're just not sure how much bigger and nastier yet.
