The Shoot Out?is a unique, internationally promoted 24-hour filmmaking festival that has captured the imagination of young filmmakers and achieved outstanding results since the initial event was launched in Newcastle, Australia in 1998. Since 2004,?The Shoot Out Boulder?challenges participants to make a film in 24 hours, using in-camera editing only.

In October 2004, 74 teams made up of students, families and professionals, took up the challenge one Friday night to each create a seven-minute short film in just 24 hours.? An incredible 66 teams made it through the grueling 24-hour challenge, and turned in their videotape by the deadline on Saturday night. On Saturday night 30 preliminary volunteer judges gathered into teams of two or three and watched those 66 seven-minute films to narrow the field to the top ten by Sunday afternoon.? Sunday evening our gala screening exhibited those top ten films (plus the best 17 and under category film) to a packed house at the historic Boulder Theater. At that exciting event 12 entertainment industry professionals from Colorado watched the top ten films alongside the enthusiastic Boulder audience, and picked the top artists in their categories including acting, writing, music and direction, and, of course, the best overall film. Go?to Press?to learn more!

?Fast filmmaking is an entirely new category of filmmaking, and is not just limited to professionals, but open to everyone, from families to college students to middle schoolers?This event is the real thing, in your own backyard, you can actually participate yourself, and walk home with the main prize.?

-Michael Conti, Executive Director
