Point Brewery and CREATE are back with the fourth edition of Still Rendering: A 48-Hour Film Challenge! We are keeping this year's competition online. Participate remotely as we challenge filmmakers from around the world to put their skills together for a memorable filmmaking experience and a win a cash prize and Point product! To add to the fun, we will draw up required details -- the genre, a line of dialogue, settings, maybe a prop or character -- that your team will receive in an email right as the timer starts!
The "Bonus Points" partnership with the Point Brewery is growing this year! The first 20 teams that register prior to April 11th will be sent a Bonus Point package that includes Point beverages and/or memorabilia.
Team registration ($75) runs until April 20th. Teams can be of any size and we encourage members of a variety of disciplines (theatre, directing, sound production, editing, etc).
