Hello Filmmakers!!
Back by popular demand, we are launching a NEW short film competition!!
As you may know, we are approaching the worldwide Earth Day on April 22nd. We would like to show our appreciation by having YOU, our very talented emerging filmmakers out there, help us spread the message of sustainability. We are all aware of the climate crisis, the pollution, and the deforestation happening on our home planet. We need as many voices as possible to stand for our silent Earth. And THAT is the gift of filmmaking. We can give a voice to the voiceless.
What is sustainability? We want to see you get creative creating a short film!
