Motion Pictures & Film - Boulder, Colorado, United States
The Shoot Out 24 Hour Filmmaking Festival Boulder asks filmmakers to trust their courage, imagination and determination by making a 7-minute film in just 24 hours. The challenge and skill involved becomes evident with the list of required technical, material, and timing 'rules' for creating the films.The Shoot Out is a unique, internationally promoted 24 hour filmmaking festival that has captured the imagination of young filmmakers and achieved outstanding results since the initial event was launched in Newcastle, Australia in 1998. Since 2004, The Shoot Out Boulder challenges participants to make a film in 24 hours, using in-camera editing only.In October 2004, 74 teams, made up of students, families and professionals, took up the challenge one Friday night to each create a seven-minute short film in just 24 hours. An incredible 66 teams made it through the grueling 24-hour challenge, and turned in their videotape by the deadline on Saturday night. Saturday night 30 volunteer preliminary judges became teams of two and three and watched those 66 seven-minute films to narrow the field to the top ten by Sunday afternoon. Sunday evening our gala screening exhibited those top ten films (plus the best 17 & under category film) to a packed house at the historic Boulder Theater. At that exciting event twelve entertainment industry professionals from Colorado watched the top ten films with the enthusiastic Boulder audience, and picked the top artists in their categories, including acting, writing, music and direction, and, of course, the best overall film."Fast filmmaking is an entirely new category of filmmaking, and is not just limited to professionals, but open to everyone, from families to college students to middle schoolers…This event is the real thing, in your own backyard, you can actually participate yourself, and walk home with the main prize."-Michael Conti, Executive Director
