It is difficult to compare projects fairly when they are so different from each other. In general, tried to evaluate the effectiveness of the concept and then checked if the execution of the script delivered on its premise. We also favoured the scripts featuring a full narrative arc – which is difficult to achieve in a short film – but it really makes the film shine when present.
And eventually here are the finalists:
- A Night of Gharam, written by Hassan Abdulrazzak
- Ava, written by Johannes Burgin
- Elephant, written by Matthew Hopper and Ali Woods
- Falcon Eyes, written by Annlin Chao
- Gobstopper, written by Jo Lane
- The Snip, written by Ben S. Hyland
The winner (and runner-ups, if any) will be announced by the end of January 10th.
A big thank you to everyone who submitted their project!
