IFP Phoenix holds Filmmaker Challenges each year that are designed to provide an opportunity
for Arizona Filmmakers to increase their skills and abilities.
CHALLENGE BASICS
Gather your team and sign up for the challenge. Whoever signs up for the challenge is the de facto team leader. Your team leader does not have to be the director or producer.
Attend the kickoff either virtually or in person. At the kickoff, you’ll get the guidelines for that challenge and then start creating!
Over the next 48 hours-10 days (depending on the challenge), you and your team will create a short film (5-6 minutes or less, depending on the challenge).
All films submitted will be screened on the big screen - even those submitted AFTER the deadline. Only films submitted on time are eligible for competition. Late films still must be turned in before the films are sent to the theater.
Do you live in Arizona, but outside of Phoenix? We’d still love to have you - join us virtually!
THE 2024 BEAT THE CLOCK CHALLENGE!
Get your team ready for 48 hours of filmmaking mayhem. Write, produce, and edit your film in 2 days using parameters given out at kickoff. Coming this summer!
240 TO GLORY CHALLENGE 2024!
Can you write, produce and edit a short film in 10 days (240 hours)? This challenge is short enough that it’s a wild ride, but still gives you two weekends to polish your masterpiece. Get your team signed up and and get screened on the BIG screen! Coming this fall!
