GO GUERILLA

CHUMSTICK

Think you have the stones to go toe-to-toe with the nastiest guerilla filmmakers in the DMV? Well you thought wrong, punk. This is an open challenge to any and all snot-nosed kids who think they’re slick with their new fancy DSLR.

Underground Writers, Directors, Actors… Zero-Budget Filmmakers… This is the short-film fest for you. We’re polling for interest now. It doesn’t matter what equipment you have, just as long as you have a passion for making movies.

Submissions open June 1st, and all final projects will be due December 1st.

All submitted films will be publicly screened at an in-person festival event in December (exact date TBD). The screening will be open to the public, and all eligible films will be voted on and nominated for various audience and jury awards!

WHO ARE WE?

Forged in the crucible of passion, we were born out of an innate hunger for filmmaking. Esoteric storytelling and compounding lore are our modus operandi.

We’ve been weaving stories through the medium of film since 2015. After cutting our teeth on high school film projects such as The Watch and Petronius and Livy: A Roman Romance (LATIN PROJECT), a fire was lit in our bellies. Our projects left the sullen classroom walls, and entered the terrifying realm of guerilla filmmaking. Suddenly, a deeper lore began to take shape.
