SF3 Mini is here with the theme of RISE

by | Jun 29, 2021 | Announcements

Enter SF3 Mini – films up to 3 mins
Last year our SF3 Iso category was such a huge success that we have decided to make it an annual award. It is now called the SF3 MINI! Each year we will choose a theme to help inspire your filmmaking and this year the theme is RISE.
We have partnered with the United Nations Association of Australia on this award and we want you to be inspired by their 17 Sustainable Development Goals together with the word RISE and what it means to you.
The theme and SDGs are just your starting off point…the film is all yours to do what you want. Just remember it must be shot completely on a smartphone or tablet and be a max of 3 mins. Bu you can edit on any device, use external mics and lenses, and a minimal amount of drone footage. The rest is up to you!
We can’t wait to see what you create. Enter by August 1st.
