straight 8

everything is super 8

straight8ers

we think everyone who makes a straight 8 film is amazing...

we welcome people to enter from all over the world to give their all to making a film in one of the hardest ways on earth

straight 8 represents a level playing field for anyone brave enough to have a go - regardless of experience

whether they triumph or go down in a blaze of glory, they've all taken something away from it and into their creative lives (and we don't mean: 'never again!')

see our testimonials page to see what some filmmakers have to say about straight 8

see where we're all coming from on the all-time world entry map below

below that scroll through the names of the brave straight8ers who've been there and done that - many more than once

thanks to everyone who's been involved in every frame of every straight 8 ever made - we salute you
