**UPDATE!!** POSTPONED TO NOVEMBER 7TH!

QUICKIE FEST: The One Minute Movie Festival is the hottest one minute movie festival in NYC. (And probably the only one!) Quickie Fest is produced and hosted by Anna Roisman and Mike Muntner. We are thrilled to announce that Quickie Fest 8 will be held at the SVA Theater in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan on Saturday November 7th, 2020. Doors 7pm | Show 8pm. Movies screened at Quickie Fest are 60 seconds or less! Not a second more!

Judging the festival are: The Special Jury and The Audience. Our 'Special Jury' is a panel of professionals working in the entertainment industry. Cash prizes will be awarded to The Special Jury Winner, The Audience Winner, and more! What can you make? Literally anything that tells a story in a minute; whether it's a documentary, a silent film, a comedy, a drama, a horror, or something we haven't even thought of yet! This is our 8th Festival (Can you believe it?!) and it will no doubt be the biggest and best one yet!

QUICKIE FEST VIII SUBMISSION GUIDELINES (READ CLOSELY! THINGS HAVE CHANGED!):

To compete in Quickie Fest, creators must pay the submission fee and fill out the form provided, or apply through Film Freeway. For this application, we ask that you share with us something you've made before that showcases your style. **Your actual Quickie Fest video does not need to be submitted until you are accepted into the festival however** (That is unless you want to submit your final project!) All submissions through Film Freeway must submit completed final projects.

So, what are the producers looking for? Well made short movies. Movies that are funny. Movies that are surprising. Movies that have a message. Movies that have good sound (Sandy Kenyon agrees). Movies that aren't sketches filmed on a stage. If accepted, creators will find out by June 10th if they're in the festival, and have until August 1st to complete their project. Projects will be submitted it through a form provided by the producers for the Quickie Fest deadline.
