[FILM MEETUP] S2C15 Screening + Challenge 16 Kickoff!

Details

On Star Wars Day we will be back at The Town School's theater for the screening of our 15th challenge of the season! Note that no food or drink are allowed and that the theater is inside of an elementary/middle school, so please be mindful and respectful of the space and arrive promptly.

In order to keep the group going as it grows into new spaces, we are accepting donations at a suggested price of $10. Our mission to keep filmmaking free and accessible to all remains the same, so these funds go strictly towards operating costs. This donation is not required to attend, but your contributions go towards a great cause.

Submit films for Challenge 15 HERE Deadline to submit is SATURDAY, May 3 by 11:59pm.
Challenge Rules for April 6 - May 4:

  • Rule 1 (Form): Shot Type - Static
  • Rule 2 (Wildcard): Monologue

For S2C15, you'll have four weeks to shoot a film that includes at least one static shot type (stationary camera) includes one monologue (typically 1 minute) read by an actor. We encourage you to get creative with both of these!

NOTE: If these guidelines are not met there is a high probability that your film will not be shown. Short Cuts is a learning community so you MUST learn what these rules are before planning for your film. We prioritize films that are submitted on time, are 5 minutes and under, and have the director present.
***
Join us for Season 2 Challenge 15 screening at a NEW venue in Manhattan! At this event, we will screen Season 2, Challenge 15 films and announce the next challenge form and wildcard. We will provide everyone with two randomly drawn rules from a hat as guidelines for participating in the challenge. After the event, you will have ~3 weeks to create a short film. At the next meeting, you will get the opportunity to show off your film, watch what others have made, and receive the next challenge's randomly drawn rules!

Note that no experience is required, and all you need is a camera and a way to edit and upload your film.

Short Cuts is a group of independent filmmakers challenging themselves to create short films every ~3 weeks following a number of randomly drawn rules. Each meeting, filmmakers have the opportunity to show off their films and watch others, as well as draw the rules for the next film challenge. This group welcomes any experience level, from those who have never touched a camera, written a script, or acted in a film to seasoned veterans looking for a challenge.
