THEME FOR THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGE IS

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY?

We're accepting all types of genres! Even though the festival's main theme is "Camp," our film challenge is open to all the possibilities of any type of summer film! You could make a road trip or slice of life short film, or shoot your very own White Lotus vacation. Into horror? How about Friday the 13th or I Know What You Did Last Summer? Do you want to express your inner Wes Anderson to blend in a Moonrise Kingdom vibe? Go ahead! Summer heartbreak? Sure!

-------------------------------------------

GUIDELINES

RUN-TIME: 4 MIN (MAX WITH CREDITS)

GENRE: Whatever you want! What does summer vacation feel like to you?

CREDITS: Include Eccentric Artists Logo stating "This film was made for the 2025 Shameless Plug: Film Challenge Showcase"

NOTE: We will consider films that were made prior to the challenge that fits the theme — however it will be stated as a pre-made film and will be noted during judging status.
