“If you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right.” – Wedge Wegman, Project Twenty1 Alumni

In 2019, Project Twenty1 returns to our roots, and relaunches with an exciting new take on a community favorite.

First: assemble your team. At the start of the 21 days, we give you (via email, social media, and this website) a Secret Element every film must include. You then have 21 days to make that film or animation a reality.

Make any film or animation you want! Make something you’ve been dying to make forever. The only requirements are that it be 1) no longer than 10 minutes in length 2) created within the 21 days and 3) that it includes the Secret Element in some way.

Finally: Submit it to us before the deadline.

Participants are welcome to upload their creations to YouTube, Facebook, and/or Instagram with the tag #projecttwenty1 to participate in the audience award. The most “liked” film by 11:59 p.m., EDT October 21, 2019 will receive the Audience Award.

Top submissions, as assessed by a panel of industry judges, will become Official Selections for Project Twenty1’s 2019 Festival, which will occur via a live-stream hosted by Project Twenty1 on one of our social media platforms, and hosted by special industry judges! In the weeks and months that follow, top films will be screened as part of one or more of our Screening Partners around the world.

Prior Project Twenty1 films have screened across 23 states and 11 countries.

There is no limit to the number of teams that can participate, and there is no restriction on state or country of entry. Sign up, make a film, and have fun!
