48 Hours Vertical Film Showcase

One team. Secret brief. Vertical film. Crew up and create.

Norrick · Team

You don't enter this one alone. Build a team of at least three: actors, editors, writers, whoever you create with.

The brief is secret. It drops August 21 at 8PM ET, to registered teams only. The only way to see it is to be in.

Your team has until August 28 at 8PM ET to write, shoot and deliver one vertical film. 1 to 5 minutes, 9:16 only. Camera or phone, just make something great.

Community voting cuts the field to 25, then to 5 finalists. A judges' panel picks the winner. Every entrant earns a permanent Official Selection badge.

The winning team's film is distributed on UntoldCine.com with the whole community marketing it forward. Finalists get featured placement and 2 months of Creator Pro.
