The Roadmap to Making Your 2-Minute Movie
Your movie can involve one actor, no actors (puppets/toys/dolls, narrative over montage, etc.), or multiple actors.
It can be done with a phone, tablet or laptop and free software.
Our competition presents a unique opportunity for participants to practice their filmmaking skills and express their unique stories, while engaging in a bit of friendly competition. All films are 2 minutes and under.
If you already have a film about JOY that is 2 minutes or less, go directly to step #4!
