THE CHALLENGE: MAKE AN EVERYDAY MOMENT MEMORABLE
Turning an everyday moment into a compelling narrative requires a level of observation native to good storytellers and filmmakers. It means seeing the ordinary with new eyes, reflecting daily life with a different perspective. What your story is about and how you tell it is up to you, but it must be clearly inspired by an everyday moment. It's as simple as that: pick a moment from daily life and go make a film. We want you to express your creativity, so our theme is simple and straightforward, letting you tell your story in your own style. We want to see how you can take the mundane and make it memorable on screen.
