ABOUT THE 2021 EVENT
It's time for speed filmmaking history! This year HFPC's annual 7 hour short film making event will be on The 4th of July! Film Teams will only have 7 hours to write, shoot, and edit an entire short film and then have it screened at the end of the evening. A panel of local film professional judges will judge the films and then decide on the winning team. The winning team will be crowned The 2021 Speed Filmmaking Champions and will receive a $400 CASH PRIZE, and each team member will receive a SFC Championship ring. The whole event will be broadcasted live, for everyone to see you and your films!
You can either register as an individual or register your own entire team. Or if you have what it takes you can register as a Team Captain, and then you will be assigned your own team. There are very limited spots to register as a Team Captain, so register as fast as you can!
