Kickoff | Friday, September 17, 2021
6 p.m. at Sodbuster
The Tree City Film Festival’s 50-hour Challenge is an exciting and intense weekend that invites teams of filmmakers to write, shoot, edit, and publish their own short films in just 50 hours.
Teams must attend the Kickoff on September 17 to receive a series of elements that must be incorporated into their film – things like a particular genre, prop, line of dialogue, character name, and shooting location.
After the allotted 50 hours are over and the films are accepted, they are juried by a guest panel of judges that are currently working in the film industry.
The winning films will be premiered at the Tree City Film Festival on October 16, 2021, followed by an awards ceremony. Awards will be given for first place ($500), second place ($250), and audience choice ($100).
Registration Fees: Adult Team | $45
Student Team | $35
