SCHEDULE 📅
1:00pm - 3:00pm - Open Auditions

If you’re casting, come ready to take notes, ask questions, and meet actors who fit the kinds of films you want to make at the mixer afterward.

5:00pm - 8:00pm - Win The Weekend Workshop
Win The Weekend Workshop • 5-8pm Presented by Kilna Anthony and Chrissy Raven Kilna - Expect ~2-2.5 hours of material, plus time for a team-forming activity and Q&A.
What you’ll learn:
• Structure & rules - how the competition works, the season from signup to screening, required elements (genre, character, prop, and line), and the rules that keep films eligible - including what you can and can’t do before kickoff
• Building team cohesion - core roles, team size and vibe, casting and commitment, role clarity, and the culture of teams that actually finish.
• Workflow strategy - time management (the clock comes first; don’t steal from post), what you can prep before kickoff, drills, and the weekend spine from Friday kickoff through Sunday upload
• Winning approaches - additional techniques and approaches that combine with the team building and workflow that result in awards
• Beyond the 48 - how deadline pressure, scope control, communication, and finishing translate into real-world production skills
Whether you’re leading a team or joining one, this is the practical playbook for sticking the landing when the clock starts Friday, August 28 at 7pm.
