Sacred Underground 210

We’re the SACRED Underground!
That means you.
That means WE, because we’re in it together.

We’re SACRED, because something possessed us to create–and we now commune together in the act.

We’re the Underground and that is NOT a slight– every movement worth its salt springs from the ground up. We’re glad to have you join this journey – a coming out party to catch all of our friends, neighbors, and creative colleagues in the act of doing all the right things. Together we reap the harvest of Writers, Filmmakers, Actors, and the magicians behind the scenes– a diverse collection of artists from varied backgrounds. The produce runs the gamut of genres: Action, Comedy, Documentary, Music Video, Stream of Consciousness, Suspense, and Horror.

Welcome to the fertile fields surrounding the (210) and the (512).

WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND.

10 Films will be selected for competition.

Ten Films (ten minutes or shorter) will be selected to compete for the $300 prize determined by a jury on site.

Any violence and/or adult themes should serve the story and nothing gratuitous for its own sake (it’s crazy that I even have to say that
-- but you would be surprised)

A very cool festival with excellent incentives and prize money. Although I couldn’t attend the event in person, I felt a lot of hospitality from the organizers, and I was proud and humbled to have taken first prize. John Lambert has always promoted local films and filmmakers and I am looking forward to the next editions!

I had a great time with other filmmakers. The quality of the films were excellent. There was some issues in steaming the films though. But I'm sure they will work it out for the next festival. Great job!
