  • 168 Film Project

168 Film Project Worldwide filmmaking and writing competitions based on scripture. Artists compete from anywhere. 168 simply means 7 days X 24 = 168 hours (or a week).
(57)

It’s long enough to make an 10-minute film and short enough that people can work for free. The goal is artistic excellence through real-world experience. Artists compete for cash, prizes and introductions. Hollywood pros involved include Zach Levi; Star of “Chuck,” Ralph Winter; Producer, “X-MEN” and Howard Kazanjian; producer of “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” and "Raiders of the Lost Ark." To st

art the 168 Film Project competition, verses are randomly selected. Because teams cannot write before the verse assignment, they must depend on divine inspiration. Cast and crew brainstorm on their Bible verse to unlock it's meaning and discover its relevance for today. In time, this will change the fabric of Hollywood. Teams get 10-days for pre-production (writing, casting, locations and schedules) and exactly 168 hours to shoot and edit. To win, artists must deftly weave the foundational verse into their story. The 168 Film Festival is the crown jewel, where artists get to be seen and receive awards in over 20 categories of artistic and technical merit, including Best Actor and Actress. Write of Passage is a new short screenwriting contest. The best of these scripts become films, making 168 more like a micro-studio, commissioning great works of art and helping them come to life. Today they make shorts; tomorrow; feature length films. Top scripts compete for $1,000 cash, prizes and Hollywood introductions and expert critique from writer/producers Luke Schelhaas ("Law and Order," "Smallville") and Brian Bird ("Not Easily Broken"). http://www.168film.com

Our Story

168 Film is a worldwide incubator and proving ground for filmmakers, writers, actors and people focused on creating stories for popular culture. Since 2003, we’ve asked ‘168’ artists to deliver great stories based on deep questions to change lives. “168” simply means 7 days X 24 = 168 hours (or a week). The goal is artistic excellence through real-world experience. We have made our first feature length film. “Final Frequency,” starring Charles Shaughnessy (The Nanny), Richard Burgi (Desperate Housewives) Lou Ferrigno Jr. (SWAT), Kirby Bliss Blanton (Death Wish), Luke Guldan (The Good Place). This film represents our 2017 Grand Prize, a feature-directing debut for the 2017 winner. The film is due in 2019. “168” Artists compete for cash, prizes and introductions. Hollywood pros involved have included Candace Cameron Bure, (Full House), Zachary Levi (Tangled), Michael Learned (4-Time Emmy Winner, The Waltons), Kevin Sorbo (Soul Surfer, Hercules), T.C. Stallings (Unbridled, War Room), Alyvia Alyn Lind (Dolly Parton at 9 in Coat Of Many Colors), Barbara Alyn Woods (Deb Scott on One Tree Hill), Corbin Bernsen (Psych), Stephen Baldwin (The Usual Suspects), Grammy winner Rebecca St. James, Howard Kazanjian, Producer (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back), Ralph Winter, Producer (X-MEN Origins: Wolverine) and Bill Ewing (Sr.VP of Production Admin, Columbia Pictures: Awakenings, Groundhog Day & Men in Black I & II). For the speed competition (May), verses are randomly selected in Los Angeles for teams all over the world. Because teams cannot write before the verse assignment, they must depend on divine inspiration and trust that they can get it done. Cast and crew brainstorm on their verse to unlock it's meaning and discover its relevance for today. Teams get 10-days for pre-production (writing, casting, locations and schedules) and exactly 168 hours to shoot and edit. To win, artists must create great art very quickly and deftly weave the foundational verse into their story. This is not for the faint-of-heart. The 168 Film Festival is the crown jewel, where artists get to be seen and receive awards for artistic and technical merit, including Best Film, Screenplay, Actor and Actress. Write of Passage is our short screenwriting contest. The best of these scripts become films in Write of Passage Spotlight. Top scripts compete for cash, prizes and Hollywood introductions and expert critique from writer/producers Brian Bird ("The Case for Christ,” “When Calls the Heart"). http://www.168film.com
