HOW IT WORKS

Instant Films takes all the conventional wisdom about filmmaking and turns it on its head. Taking advantage of new technologies Instant Films creates a intense and exciting environment where filmmakers do not have time for pretension, ego or second thoughts.

INSTANT FILMS is Produced by
Peter Lebow and John Sylvain .

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS

DAY ONE
At 8pm Friday night, 7 writers each select two random words and a cast breakdown (for example 2 woman, 2 men). Each writer has 12 hours to complete an eight page script which incorporates all of the above.

DAY TWO/THREE
At 8am Saturday morning, the actors and directors assemble and the writers deliver their scripts. The directors randomly pick one of the completed scripts. A cast is chosen randomly from the pool of actors. Production begins. The Directors have less than two days to shoot and edit their films using the cast they were assigned.

DAY THREE - SHOWTIME
Directors bring their finished films to the theater by 6pm Sunday. At 8pm the films are shown to a live audience!
