The 360 | 365 Shorts Contest is currently on hiatus. Thank you to all our past participants!
Congratulations to the winners of our latest contest, ”Go Green!”
The challenge was to create a short film (3 minutes or less) that incorporated the theme of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. See the Go Green winners here.
REDUCE your cast by having one actor play more than one role.
REUSE your dialogue: one line must be used twice by the same or different characters.
And finally, RECYCLE a shot: one shot must appear at least three times in the film without alteration.
See a demonstration in the video below:
Film is in our blood and this is where we prove it.
“The late Orson Welles said, near the end of his life, that the day is coming, thanks to the ease of today”s hands-on technology, when anybody can make a movie. The challenge is to make ‘em GOOD. That”s your challenge if you”d like to be part of the High Falls Film Festival. Make a movie about Rochester, on the Coming Home theme, that”ll cause me to bring my No. 10 rating out of retirement! Hopefully, we”ll see your entry soon, and then see you later at the Fest!”
- JACK GARNER, film critic
Every 3 months we release a theme. Filmmakers have roughly 12 weeks to produce a film that’s 3 minutes or less – “Short”! Contestants capture their thoughts, imagination and interpretation of the theme and submit their film. At the end of the contest, all the films will be reviewed by the panel of judges. Three winners are then selected.
A screening of the winning films occurs at the end of each Shorts cycle. Then, winners of each contest will be shown during the 360 | 365 Film Festival in the spring. The Grand Prize winner of each contest wins $1,000 and passes to the Festival.
Young and old, amateur and professional, the Shorts Contest is for everyone. Put your brand on a fun and creative year round celebration of the imagination!
Many thanks to our sponsors!
