The Shoot Out 24 Hour Filmmaking Festival

Friday, October 7 & Saturday, October 8 | 4- 6 p.m.

Since 2004, The Shoot Out Boulder asks filmmakers to trust their courage, imagination and determination by making a seven-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. Teams must provide their own equipment, cast and crew. Each film can be no longer than seven minutes in length (including credits) and must be edited in-camera and returned to the event organizers no later than 24 hours after the start of the event.
