Use of Inspiration Package*

The inspiration package, does exactly what it sounds like!

We will be sending you a couple of variables for you to include within your film. This could be prompts for dialogue, framework, location choices.

While the inspiration package items are not mandatory (meaning you won’t be disqualified if you don’t use them) you do gain points for including them. The use of the inspiration package also is intended to keep folks on the same page for the 72 - Hours so that no films could have been previously fully planned out.
