Frantic Film Challenge
The Peace Region's Annual Film Challenge Returns!
25 March - 3 April, 2022
Over the course of an adrenaline-filled 9-day span, filmmaking teams compete to write, shoot, and edit a 2-7 minute short film. AND, because we would like everyone to do this safely, we ask that you do this challenge following the current COVID-19 public health restrictions and guidelines in your province of residence (Alberta & British Columbia) so we can all keep doing what we love!
The films will be screened live at the Reel Shorts Film Festival on May 1st @7pm, and will be viewable alongside the rest of the festival's packages until the festival ends. We're ecstatic that we're once again collaborating with RSFF to allow an even broader audience for these short films
