ABOUT 24/ONE – 24 Hours. One movie.

• All teams that have registered online must send one team representative to the Official 24/ONE Sign-In and Kickoff: Saturday, September 24th between 10am and 10:45am. Sign-In location is at the Citytv 'canopy' -- they don't call them 'tents' anymore -- at 102 Avenue & 104 Street.  This is where the fabulous Downtown Market at 104 Street happens!  

• A brief Q&A will be held starting at 10:45am. 

• At 10:59am 24/ONE organizers will assign  SURPRISE ELEMENTS to include in your short film of 6-minutes or less (including credits).

• The completed movie must be delivered – in-person – the following day, Sunday, September 25th by 11:00am, to the 24/ONE table in front of Empire Theatres – 3rd floor of Edmonton City Centre at Empire Movie Theatres. 

• Entry fee per team is $60. This is payable when you register online and is non-negotiable. 

• TEAMS are made up of up to 3 people – Producer, Writer, Director. You can have as many actors, editors, writers, etc. as you’d like.

• FILMS MUST BE FAMILY-FRIENDLY and 6-minutes or less (including credits)!  Absolutely no sex, violence, or coarse language. Failure to follow this rule will result in disqualification.

•The films will then be reviewed by a panel of industry professionals and their Top 10 picks will screen publicly on Friday, September 30th at Empire City Centre 9. Audiences will choose the winning film.

• To enter the 24/ONE Challenge, at least ONE TEAM MEMBER must be eighteen (18) years of age at start time on September 24th. The Edmonton International Film Festival is not responsible for supervision of minors.
