Déjà ViewFilmmaking CompetitionThis filmmaking competition is a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy... Have you ever had that eerie feeling like you've been there or done that before? Have you already experienced a present experience? At OSIF, we call that Déjà View. This We give filmmaking teams the exact same script to shoot and edit. What we hope to get are completely different results. We want to see how different creative minds interpret and produce the same idea. But, there is a twist: Each team gets to choose how to end their story. Go grab some popcorn... it's time to experience some Déjà View.

Your final film should be produced as closely to the provided written script as possible. Your artistic style, impression and interpretation of the characters, location, & dialogue is up to you. Some dialogue and action can change, minor changes are OK! Make the script how you see it.
We understand that some things in the script may be slightly changed and that some sacrifices will have to be made, due to location or other logistics. This is all part of the essence of this contest. Do your best to stay true to the script, but let your creativity flow.
