DIY CHALLENGE

THEME: THE LOOOOOOOONG TAKE

Your next DIY Challenge is here: THE ONE SHOT! Once the camera starts rolling, you’ve got 5 minutes max to tell a story and it can be about anything you want.


This is all about invention and not polished product. How can you keep the shot alive with movement, space, timing, and performance when the camera never blinks? Be bold, be resourceful, and see how far you can push the long take.


Every quarter, we give you a theme. You've got 2 months to make something. Best films get screened at our quarterly Sandbox Showcase. No budget required, no expensive gear needed... just go and make something.

  • FREE - Winner shown at the NOVEMBER Showcase!

  • Must be over 16 to submit.
