About the event
Here is how the 48hr Halloween Puppet Film Project works:
At 3:00pm PT / 6:00pm ET on Friday October 2nd, we will randomly draw a theme, item, and action live on the "Handmade Puppet Dreams" Facebook and Instagram pages. This info will also be posted within the hour, and sent via email to registered participants!
Using those prompts, participants then have 48hrs to build, film, edit, export, and upload a 3-minute (or less) short puppet film!
Submit your film via a Google Form (link sent to registered participants) by 3:00pm PT / 6:00pm ET on Sunday October 4th.
To Register as a filmmaker participant, purchase a ticket below. One registration is required for each film submitted. (If you have a team, you only need to register once).
Our illustrious panel of judges will watch all of the films with prizes awarded for the top 3 films with additional recognitions for…
