straight 8

the one super 8 cartridge no editing film competition

shootout

shootout is the opportunity for creative companies to compete at straight 8 - we hold the premieres at cannes ad festival, online and more…

nb: straight 8 shootout is not the same as straight 8 2023, 2024 etc - compare the two competitions here

20 companies can enter and they put their company name to their film. the rules are the same as our individuals competition: in-camera editing on super 8, no post-production, make an original soundtrack without seeing your film, and for shootout every film gets played at the premiere, regardless of how - or whether - it came out. for shootout, the max film length is 2.5 minutes. and gold, silver and bronze winners are voted for live at the premiere and the winning companies get to take away our iconic trophies to grace their awards cabinets

crucially shootout helps support the whole of straight 8 so get your company involved
