TOP 20 PUBLIC SCREENING
Tickets are now sale for the Top 20 Public Screening where the films from the 2024 A3F One-Shot | One-Angle Film Challenge will make their world premier!

To purchase tickets ($11 each), use your credit/debit card or PayPal account below. You can change the quantity of tickets ordered on the next screen. Be sure to type in a First/Last name. Your tickets will be at our Will Call table in the theatre lobby beginning at 5p.m. on the 24th. **No refunds please.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Teams have a choice, make a traditional one-shot film which allows just two presses of the record button (camera can move but just a single shot or start-stop) or you can create a film using only one angle but as many shots/scenes as you need. On the later option, the camera can not move, so choose your angle and location wisely.
Films can be 1-4 minutes long including credits and must also incorporate the Official Guidelines which will be a Theme, Line of Dialogue and Prop. Thank you to the 50+ filmmakers who attended our kick-off party! Check out our social media pages to see some photos of the event.
Teams that beat the 72 Hour Deadline will have their movies watched and scored by our Panel of Judges with the Top 20 films making their world premier at our legendary Public Screening at AMC Arizona Center 24 Theatres on October 24. More info and ticket sales coming soon!

RULES
