[nb: straight 8 shootout is not the same as straight 8 2022 - compare the two competitions here]

SHOOTOUT IS our INTER-COMPANY CHALLENGE TO CREATE THE BEST SHORT FILM ON SUPER 8 - WITHOUT EDITING OR POST-PRODUCTION - AND TO SEE IT - FOR THE FIRST TIME - WITH THE WORLD WATCHING

companies make a 2.5 minute film in one of the hardest ways on earth and put their company name to it

they shoot on just one roll of super 8 film with no retakes and no post-production and then submit an original soundtrack ‘blind’

no matter how (or whether) it comes out, the first time anyone will see their film is with the world and their competitors watching at our premiere in cannes

this is not for the faint-hearted

immediately after the films play the entered companies vote for their top three, excluding their own

we will award gold, silver and bronze trophies at the premiere

and donate the prize pot to charities chosen by the three winning companies
