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. We are also pairing this with a separate scriptwriting contest! Calling all scriptwriters who want to have their story duplicated many times over. Submit your script, and have a chance to see your story played up on the big screen, again, and again, and again!
