Filmmakers may register as individuals or as teams. One member from each will be required to attend the event kick-off meeting at 8 PM on Friday, June 3. At this meeting, teams will receive the three elements that must be included in their films: a line of dialogue, a prop, and a location. All teams will be required to use the same elements. The kick-off meeting will end at exactly 9 PM, from which point teams have only 24 hours to produce a short film of 5 minutes or less in length. Completed films will be handed-in to festival staff between 8 - 9 PM on Saturday, June 4.

NEW: ALL films completed during the 24-hour production period will be screened in one of the festival screenings. Order of screening is determined by order of submission after 24-hours. Audiences at Festival Screenings will vote to determine the top 10 films to be screened and juried at the Festival Gala Screening on June 18.

The top ten films will then be screened at the festival gala event at 8 PM on Saturday, June 18th. Celebrity jury members will evaluate the films, and give live comments on each production. Major awards will be given for the best films.
