All registered teams were provided randomly selected elements (genre, prop and line of dialogue) to include in their film. The teams were then given 48 hours to complete a two to five-minute short film, which will be screened for the first time, with an audience on the big screen! The in competition shorts (which meet all the rules of the challenge) will be juried live at the screening, followed by an awards ceremony.
