You know you have it in you, but don’t know where to start.

We have shown over and over again that a great short can be created in a matter of 72 hours!

But in this special 8-week edition of our movie challenge, we want to show you how to get it done without losing sleep or compromising your work or school. Anyone can do this; if you only find the will, you can make a movie with us, even if (or especially if!) you have never made one before. The door is open.

Join us in 📍 Workish Neukölln at 5 PM on March 15th to get started.

FAQs

  • To take part, you simply have to follow the rules and hand in your prompt-compliant movie in time for the deadline. If you are looking for a crew or guidance, come to our kick-off event on 15.03.2026 and to our Meetups on every Sunday at 5 PM in Workish. Present your idea and convince people to join you.

  • The submission link will be shared on this page by the end of April.

  • The challenge is completely free. You simply have to create movie in the time frame and submit it.

  • If your movie happens to be created in the "official time frame" and is somehow connected to the prompt, then yes. We prefer if you create the movie for the challenge, but if destiny is in your favor here, how could we deny your entry?

  • The challenge aims towards a creative push, so you win that you actually start and finish the movie. However, you will also get a cool trophy to put on your shelf, and a bottle of champagne for you and your team.

  • The prompts are suggested and voted for by the community. They could give a theme to the movies or just a small part of it. They should not constrain the creation too much. It serves more as an inspiration and common denominator than a restriction.

    The vote for the prompt will be finalized during the kick-off event, so you will get a chance to impact the result!

Great. You read all this and are interested. Now it’s time to commit to the challenge. The commitment is just with you and your team, of course. No pressure from our side. However, don’t overthink it. Get out there, write a script, pitch your idea and find a crew at our meetup.

And remember: “Done is better than perfect"!
