SpeakeasyShorts Film Challenge

Eight filmmaking teams have only 5 days to write, shoot, edit—and screen a film based on stories from eight local storytellers. The kicker: none of the teams have heard the stories before they are presented.

Tickets are $20 per show, or $30 for both evenings when purchased online.

THE STORYTELLING

Friday, November 9
7:00pm and 9:30pm shows
US Navy Memorial Heritage Center, 701 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, DC

The air is electric as seven local storytellers regale the audience — and seven filmmaking teams — with touching, funny, insightful and personal stories about their lives. At the end of the 7:00 show, the filmmaking teams will learn which story they have been paired with — and the race to make an 8-minute movie is on! This show runs approximately 90 minutes.

THE FILMS

Friday, November 16
7:00pm and 9:30pm shows
US Navy Memorial Heritage Center, 701 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, DC

With only five days to shoot and edit their films, who knows what will be projected on the big screen? Watch the eight films, ask questions of the teams — and then cast your vote for your favorite film. After the 9:30 show, one team will walk away with a $1,000 grand prize, and other awards will be presented for the film which most closely follows the original story, and the film which most creatively tells the story. This show runs approximately 90 minutes.

One amazing event presented on two consecutive Friday evenings. Purchase a ticket ($20) for either night (7:00 and 9:30 shows) or buy for both Fridays and save $10
