10 SHOT CHALLENGE

Duration: 2hrs 45mins

Assemble your cast and crew. Make your short film.

We’ve designed it so you only need two people - or just one if you have a tripod, or can rest your smartphone on something. Your film can star family, friends… even pets. Or you can play all the parts yourself.

Then it’s time to pop the popcorn, crack the champagne, sit back and enjoy your very own world premiere.
