We wanted to keep you inspired and share some of our vast collection of amazing smartphone films from the first 5 years of SF3. To get us started, film #1 is our very first SF3 Best Film & Best Actor Winner from 2015, “LSD Man” by Steve McGrath. Not only did Steve write and act in this himself, he shot it mostly alone too all in his Sydney apartment…get inspired during quarantine!
While our official launch is not until May 1st, we want to give you all enough time to make your masterpieces, so we’ve already opened our call for entries! You have until midnight AEST. August 1st, 2020 to get us your films. Remember we want shorts up to 20 mins, feature films and VR/360 vids.
