Series Title: The 4 Hour Film Challenge - Presented by IF Films and Supported by NFM
Description: The 4 Hour Film Challenge is just that - 4 hours to make a film. It’s adrenaline-fuelled, seat of your pants film making fun. From concept to screening in just one day - sound impossible? The last 2 challenges, held in Newcastle last year, attracted over 100 film-makers, 25 teams of directing and acting talent frantically blitzing around the vicinity and beyond, using their ingenuity to create that inspired winner. “A Sunday not spent frantically improvising a film, is a Sunday wasted” James Harris, Shameless films, winner Take #1. It is a competition. There is a winner, a trophy and prizes. But the day is about risk-taking and spontaneity; experimentation and invention; finding those elusive creative solutions when it all goes horribly wrong – not perfection. Come on - you’ve got 4 hours! If we hear you shout action, or another team races through your shot it only adds to the magic. “It is this approach that contains the elements of a successful future for the media sector of the North East. Lively, enthusiastic and versatile people, able to work easily across sectors and forms” Tom Harvey, Chief Exec Northern Film and Media.
