Tell your tale of terror… in just 60 seconds.

The tools of filmmaking have never been more accessible; most of us carry a high-quality video camera in our pockets every day. The One Minute Film Festival was created to give a platform for visual storytelling to anyone in the Pitt community with an idea and a smartphone or digital camera.

This year, the Center for Creativity has teamed up with our friends from Horror Studies in the University Library System and the Horror Studies Working Group to bring you all the shudders and scares with One Minute Film Festival: Bite-Sized Horror.   

The festival is open to all forms of expression through the moving image: we want to see your unnerving narrative shorts, scary stop motion, eerie experimental films, and anything else you come up with. The only constraints are a time limit (60 seconds or less) and of course, that spine-tingling vibe. 

What scares you? How can you convey a message, show the meaning in a moment, and compel an audience in only a minute? We shiver with antici… pation! 

Submissions accepted until Oct. 24!
