Lacie’s information says:
We want to shine a light on the best told stories in short film format. Regardless of the genre, every short submitted will be watched in full and critiqued against some basic criteria.
Is it shorter than 20 minutes in length?
Is it emotionally engaging? Does it make us feel something?
Is it thought provoking? Does it make us think from a different perspective?
Is it innovative? Is it something we’ve not seen before?
Is it a great story involving compelling characters with depth?
Big budgets, famous actors and fancy special effects are cool, but not part of our criteria. submit your story to #PushPlay for a chance at a once in a lifetime experience.
We want to unearth the brightest short film makers and support them on their journey to greatness. We’ll set up the winner of #PushPlay with a once-in-a-lifetime mentoring session and a state of the art production suite. We’ll also expose their work to the global filmmaking community.
