This year, we are taking our filmmaker discussions indoors — in the cool and comfortable LivGenerations Mayo Showroom just south of the Harkins Theatres across from the Bowlero in suite 1108. These intimate conversations will feature filmmakers who have films in the festival (along with some local pros) hosted by other filmmakers who also know the subject well.

THE 2021 240 TO GLORY FILM CHALLENGE IS NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!!
WHAT IS IT?
This past year plus has been really hard on everyone. We think it’s time to have a little fun. Filmmakers like that kind of thing, right? So we wanted to do a film challenge and get your creative juices flowing again. We think 48 hours would be even tougher this year. We still want to keep things compressed, but also give time for safety and doing things the right way. So this summer, we’re giving you 10 days (hey, that equals 240 hours!) to make an awesome film and submit it for screening. We will give you a prop and line of dialog at our virtual kickoff event. You and your team then have 240 hours to write, shoot, edit, and generally go crazy with filmmaking! (note – teams are responsible for providing their own gear).
