Participants will have the opportunity to write, shoot and edit a short film within 72 hours based on a list of prompts that will be sent on Thursday, March 14th at 6:00 PM EST. Selected films will be screened at FOKUS on March 21st at Cinéma du Parc from 7:00-9:00 PM.

The given prompt must act as a plot device in some way, big or small, that moves the narrative forward.
