wE pICK A MOVIE, YOU REMAKE A SCENE
IT’S NOT A COMPETITION, IT’S A COLLECTIVE.
Over the course of a month, lead a team of filmmakers to re-imagine a scene from a celebrated film. Make it a musical, use puppets, animate it, collaborate with multiple teams - just have fun with it! At the end of the month we’ll collect all scenes, recompile the film and screen it for all filmmakers and film lovers to enjoy.
Bootleggers & Their Scenes
The scenes have been assigned! Now comes the fun part. Celebrate, Subvert, remix, reimagine, and bootleg anyway you see fit. Remember, you don’t have to be faithful to the original scene in anyway other than the audience should still be able to follow the story and understand they’re watching Nightmare. Join the discord to contact other filmmakers and collaborate!
