To compliment our massive, mainstream festival, this fall we are doing our third round of SH*TS N GIGGLES: Vancouver’s REAL Run N Gun Competition.
This is a sister competition of Run N Gun: Vancouver's 48 Hour Film Competition. It's run by the same people.
First off, just because it’s call Sh*ts N Giggles doesn’t mean we only want comedy films, and it definitely doesn’t mean we want (intentionally) bad films. Vancouver has a rich history of putting mediocrity on a pedestal and that’s just not the kind of festival we want to run.
No. We want you all to make the BEST films you possibly can, in any genre you want, without breaking the piggy bank or spending your life savings to make a movie.
Unrepresented Filmmakers: Black, Indigenous, Trans, or disabled filmmakers can email us at rngfestival@gmail.com for waivers.
These groups have, historically, been underrepresented in the past years of Run N Gun and we are committed to reducing and removing barriers of entry. These films must be directed by an underrepresented filmmaker to quality.
Only the TOP FILMS will play the festival. The exact number will be determined closer to the festival, but expect two programmes of short films.
There will only be four awards: GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE and BEST STUDENT FILM.
Remember, we are making these movies for sh*ts n giggles. If you are participating for awards and prestige at a festival called Sh*ts N Giggles, you may be too far gone for this competition.
