The Ypsi 24-Hour Film Shootout (Ypsi 24) is a community event for filmmakers to create a short film and share it at a community screening that brings together filmmakers, wannabe filmmakers, and film lovers.  And, there will be CASH prizes for the winners!

The Shootout kicks off on Friday, October 5 at 6PM at the Mix Marketplace when registered filmmakers get a list of elements to include in their movie.  Once the official clock begins, the completed films must be delivered 24 hours later on October 6.

Filmmakers’ creativity and teamwork capabilities will be tested in this time-restricted production schedule. The Best of the Best will be rewarded with cash prizes, unlimited notoriety, and showcased to the world via WDEE-TV.COM.

The organizers of Ypsi 24 are seeking Founding Partners to help sponsor this event that will draw attention to Ypsilanti as a “film and arts” town that will grow in stature for years to come.  Look for more details at www.ypsi24hourfilm.com coming soon!
