ABOUT FILM RACING: 

The 24 Hour Competition Format
In each city, teams receive a theme and surprise element assignment for their films via e-mail at 10PM on a Friday night.  Examples of past themes are "Revenge", "Bad Advice" and "Spare Change".  The plot of the film must revolve around the theme.  The surprise element can be a prop (ex. toothbrush) or an action which must be performed in the film (ex. a slap).
 
The filmmakers have just 24 hours to write, shoot, edit and score an original film no longer than 4 minutes based on the theme and surprise element assignment.  The films are due back at the film dropoff location by 10PM on Saturday night and all the films are screened for the public at a local theater a few days later.  The top films go on to compete for thousands in cash and prizes against filmmakers across North America.
