About the Competition
Show your credibility muscles and get inventive. Show them films that are experimental, narrative, documentary, comedy, drama, animation, ambient, music videos, re-mix, horror, sci-fi, and more! Submissions can range from any genre and style so long as they are based on innovative and artistic storytelling, provoke an emotional response, and showcase a mastery of filmmaking, editing, and/or animation.
Eligibility:
Professional and aspiring filmmakers, editors, and animators (at least 18 years of age) from all around the world are invited to participate and will have a chance to share their work inspired by real NASA footage that has been collected from over 50 years of space exploration!
Requirements:
