The Locals Film Contest is a key event of the Sun Peaks Festival!

Join in!

Here are the parameters:

Your film can be of any topic or place. It DOES NOT have to be about Sun Peaks.
Focus on story:

Capture our interest with a unique take on someone, or something from the local environment. 

Pace the story to keep us watching and make sure to deliver at the end. 

Showcase our wonderful slice of paradise that we live amongst. 

SHORT film - between 2-15 mins

Technical: 

Format - horizontal 1080p minimum

Camera gear is not important but providing a quality, easy to watch edit is crucial. 

Use your phone, GoPro, DSLR/Mirrorless or Cine camera, but whatever equipment you use, make sure to use it to focus on the STORY. 

Helpful tips: 

Scripting the story on paper in bullet points or short notes can be incredibly helpful in keeping you on track with your project. 

Storyboarding scenes may be better for visual learners. 

Collaborating with other creatives can lighten the load and broaden the genius (idea) pool.

Start sooner than later to allow reviews of the final piece and any (probable) amendments needed. 

Can you put old footage already collected to use? 

DONE is better than PERFECT.
