This year, Raindance launches the annual halloween short film competition early! Beginning September 1st, 2021, you will have the opportunity to have your halloween-themed short film screened at the Raindance Film Festival. It has been a tough year, but now with filmmaking more accessible than it has been in over a year, we are giving extra time for our filmmakers to create the strongest film they can.
How to Take Part:
1) Shoot a 60-second horror film.
2) Use the theme of … Spooky! What is spooky to you? Is there a Halloween short you’ve been dying to make? Be creative!
3) Post the completed film on Instagram, tagging @raindancefilmfestival and including the hashtag #SixtySpookySeconds
E.g.: Hey @raindancefilmfestival, here’s my #SixtySpookySeconds!
