About this hackathon
Got an idea you have been sitting on? Next week is the week to make it.
Big Screen Hack London kicks off on Monday 5 October at 6.30pm, at Wonder Studios in London and online. You then have until midday on Sunday 11 October to make something, and the shortlist plays on the IMAX on Friday 16 October. 🎬
There is more than one way in, and we are revealing the challenges one at a time.
The Green Light, with Fairground and StoryMachine. Make a short film or a pilot, or enter one you have already made. The winning work is developed into a series for TV (see terms).
The Advertising Challenge, with OpenClips. Make a 20 to 60 second advert on OpenClips, for a real brand or one you invent. There is $1,500 in cash for the winner
Still to come: a challenge for people who care about sound, one for music video makers with an artist you will know, and a few more we are keeping quiet for now.
The prize pool is worth over $50,000 and it is free to enter. Every brief, rule and prize drops at kick-off on Monday, so that is the one to be at.
Thank you to the partners making it happen: Fairground, StoryMachine, OpenClips, Picsart, ElevenLabs, Popcorn, Wonder Studios and Topaz Labs. And to AI Movie Awards, AI/CC, RecDek House and Muja Studios for spreading the word.
