Snakebite 5-Day Film Challenge

What an exciting contest that was!

Between January 9th-14th 2025, 11 teams had 5 days to write, shoot and edit a short film. Each team was given a line of dialogue, a prop, a genre/theme, and a character to come up with a unique and creative story to produce within 5 days.

The creativity and quality of these 5-Day films were incredible! We are so excited to host this in conjunction with Snakebite Film Festival again next year!
