Film-makers Contest


  • ArtZone Sun Peaks Arts Society Box 11, Heffley Creek PO, Heffley Creek, BC Sun Peaks, BC Canada (map)

Hey Go-Pro crowd!! Win $500 and a prize package from McSporties!

Here’s your chance to strut your stuff and put together a film, winner and runners-up to be screened at the Sun Peaks Film Festival Local’s Night - January 12.

Here are the parameters:
Focus on story:
Capture our interest with a unique take on someone, or something from the local environment.
Pace the story to keep us watching and make sure to deliver at the end.
Showcase our wonderful slice of paradise that we live amongst.

Technical:

Camera gear is not important but providing a quality, easy to watch edit is crucial.
Use your phone, GoPro, DSLR/Mirrorless or Cine camera, but whatever equipment you use, make sure to use it to focus on the STORY.

Helpful tips:

Scripting the story on paper in bullet points or short notes can be incredibly helpful in keeping you on track with your project.

Storyboarding scenes may be better for visual learners.
Collaborating with other creatives can lighten the load and broaden the genius (idea) pool.

Start sooner than later to allow reviews of the final piece and any (probable) amendments needed.

Can you put old footage already collected to use?

DONE is better than PERFECT. ENTRY DEADLINE JANUARY 6, 2023
