Quarantined Creativity: Stay At Home Short Film Challenge Film Riot (@thefilmriot) is sponsoring a short video contest. The assignment: Make a terrific movie in any genre—60 seconds or shorter—shot in your home or on your property. The contest was inspired by the fact that because of the pandemic, many of us are living under stay-at-home rules. Film Riot believes that being restricted this way should not inhibit our creativity. Or to put it more positively, they believe that working on a film can lift one’s spirits. The rules: ►Open to submissions worldwide ►No longer than 60 seconds ►Must take place at your residence. Outside is allowed only on your own property. ►Contest ends April 2nd @ 5pm CT ►No doom and gloom ►You can submit multiple videos (once a day) ►Royalty-free music only For more information—including a list of the terrific prizes—there’s a helpful 8-minute movie featuring Film Riot’s founder @Ryan_Connollly at https://youtu.be/8zpOgKDyn_M #mobilemoviemaking #videocontests #coronavirus #shortfilms https://www.instagram.com/p/B-N3Adupl7P/?igshid=vhlzjgf42mrv
