Challenge Background
The All-Star Filmmakers randomly selected a character, either a hero or a villain, on October 2 at a special pre-challenge event. They had one week to bring their character to life through casting, costume design, settings, props and locations.

On October 9 at the combined One-Shot and Heroes & Villains Kickoff Party, the All-Star teams were given a Theme, a Prop and a Line of Dialogue and had exactly 72 hours to make a 6-10 minute film.

Guidelines
Theme: Remorse
Prop: a Liquid that a character spills onto him/herself or onto another character.
Line of Dialogue: Next time, things will be different.
