How Films will be judged

A panel of judges will select their choice for first and second place.

Considerations For Best Film

Required Elements

Judges will look at the incorporation of each of the required elements – line of dialogue, prop and location. Another important element is that the film be between 2-6 minutes in length.

Technical and Artistic Merit

Technical aspects such as cinematography, sound/score, video editing and costumes will be individually reviewed. Artistic elements such as actor performance, set design and lighting will also be considered.

Storytelling

Is the story compelling? Was there good character development? How original was the script writing? These will all be examined by the judges.

All films, on-time and late, are eligible for the Audience Award, which is determined by an in-person audience ballot at the premiere screening.
