The 60 Second Film Challenge has been set by the Stroud Film Festival – we asked the people of Stroud to devise, shoot, edit and upload a short film in 24 hours! The challenge took place on Sunday 11th March. The films were made around a theme which was announced online at midnight on 10th March to those people who have registered. The theme was ‘Cold Water’.
The challenge had three categories: existing filmmakers, under 18s, new filmmakers. A film production workshop ‘Film School’ was also run on 10th March aimed at people with moderate or no experience. Selected films from each category were screened at the Stroud Community TV Awards evening – see more here.
