Make a Film 🎥
If you’ve been itching to make a movie, I would highly encourage y’all to use this contest as an excuse to get out there and make a film!
And I say this because…I honestly think if I didn’t host this contest that I would even make a film myself.
That’s what I love about this contest! I even use it as an excuse to force myself to do what I love, to work on my craft and make a movie.
We all make excuses as to why we can’t or don’t do the thing that we love or want to do. “I’m too busy, oh the time isn’t right, ahhh I don’t have a big budget, I don’t have a nice enough camera, I’ll just do it next year, “the list goes on and on…whatever the excuses are that we tell ourselves.
That being said, I would highly encourage you to do the same, and make a movie this year. I can’t wait to watch your films. The submissions never cease to blow me away year after year.

Contest Rules 📝
Every year I create a set of rules that every participant making a film needs to follow & incorporate if they want to be in the running to win the short film contest. These rules are intended to challenge you as a filmmaker and put everyone on the same playing field!
Submit your film ✅
Once you’ve finished your film, click the button below to officially submit your short film into the contest!
film screening 📽️
Like last year, I’m once again hosting a screening night of the top 10 films at one of my warehouse locations in Los Angeles. The screening is also a Halloween costume party with food, drinks, and concessions! Attending the screening does not increase or decrease your chances of winning, it is just a fun way to celebrate you all and the top films that are created this year! I will also be screening my new short film as well 👀
