Fusion Film Challenge
Film students, check out the Fusion Film Challenge!
THE CHALLENGE: to assemble a team that can shoot, edit and produce a world-class doc in just five days.
Do you have that kind of nerve?
Six days left to sign up your team to the Fusion Doc Challenge and give yourself, and your freshly made mini doc, a chance to premiere at the 2017 Slamdance Film Festival.
Only great filmmakers need apply.
You can register your team at theaudienceawards.com and claim your five-day window (November 10-14 or November 14-18, 2016). On your start date, you’ll login and receive the theme and genre to which your 4- to 7-minute film will be beholden (randomly chosen from 11 possibilities). Then, get your badassery on. You’ll have 121 hours to make and upload your film (we provide an extra hour for upload time).
Films which are uploaded within the parameters set will be judged by an elite industry panel of jurors.
