True North Film Festival
What is True North Film Festival?
The Mission:
To provide filmmakers with an opportunity to hone their skills through friendly competition in order to stimulate growth, creativity and collaboration here in Michigan's thriving film community.
Three Easy Steps:
Step one: Competing filmmakers throw $50 into a jackpot and in turn draw a title from the festival organizers.
Step two: The filmmakers have a certain amount of time (usually 4-5 weeks) to make the best movie they can based on their title and turn it in by the deadline.
Step three: All films are screened to the audience and the top three films are selected as a critical choice by a a panel of judges composed of industry professionals.
Final step: The jackpot is awarded to one critical choice filmmaker as selected by the audience in attendance during the competitive screenings.
