This year’s theme is ìChoicesî. Submissions open on July 2, so get creating<br />
BRIEF<br />
This year’s theme is to make a short film (maximum 5 minutes including credits)<br />
based on the theme ìChoices”.<br />
Choices dictate our lives. We feel the impact of good choices, the burden of bad<br />
choices, and the constant ìwhat ifî of how our lives would change if we’d done<br />
things differently. Your film could explore any genre, be it comedy, documentary,<br />
animation, horror, musical ñ whatever you like to make! We just want to see your<br />
point of view.<br />
The judges are on the lookout for innovation, good storytelling and the ability to<br />
move an audience.<br />
Submissions will open on July 2 so get a team together and start creating!<br />
