THE SETUP

Like most film challenges, this list includes a minimum of things your film must include – BUT – more points will be scored for putting in AS MANY AS YOU CAN and bonus points for how creatively they are integrated into your film. The films will also still be judged on story, creativity, editing, directing and overall presentation – so don’t just throw things in without consideration to how they fit.
