Two weeks ago, 14 intrepid teams of Rochester-area filmmakers were given only 72 hours to write, film, edit, and produce a five-minute short film utilizing an assigned character, prop, and situation. Now, on Monday, February 4, the results of their labors will be screened for the public at the Cinema Theater (957 S. Clinton Ave) thanks to the Rochester Movie Makers. The films have been reviewed by a panel of judges, and following the screening cash prizes will be awarded for the first- and second-place films, as well as a special prize for editing. The first-prize film will also have the opportunity to be screened at the Rochester High Falls Film Festival in April. Tickets cost $5 and can be purchased online at rochestermoviemakers.org, or at the door the night of the event for cash only.
