The Alaska B4UDie Comedy Festival is entering a situationship with the Alaska Filmmakers to bring a challenge to comedians and filmmakers alike. And before we get into the juicy bits of it, this is a FREE event/challenge/show!

Introducing the Tight Five Film Challenge!

The concept is pretty straightforward: Write, shoot, and edit a comedy film that is 5 minutes or shorter (that includes credits) in just over 8 days. That’s right! A week and we threw in an extra day and a half for the procrastinators. Use it wisely (or lazily, I don’t care).

The film itself doesn’t have to be only comedy, just must have comedy included. You could make a sci-fi comedy, a horror comedy, even a German expressionist comedy if you’re not a wittle scaredy cat.

The challenge will start March 22nd, when we will also announce a secret guideline or two that must be included in your film. The deadline to turn in your film is 11:59PM on March 30th.

The screening will be April 7th, 2PM-4PM at Anchorage Community Theater (note: hold for rabid applause). There will also be previously made films that were submitted to the festival screening after the challenge’s films.
