About the festival

The Wait-A-Minute Film Competition gives participants the opportunity to complete a film of one minute in length. This year's WAM is particularly exciting as it challenges contestants to create a film, with the given genres of Sci-Fi , Horror or fantasy, however you must give the film a 1980s look! Also you are required to include a concept. The concept this year is "Rewind." Doesn't that just bring back the joys of VHS? How you decide to include the concept of "Rewind" is up to you. Welcome to the 6th annual WAM film competition and screening. WAM! 80s style.

As an added bonus for our participants, a selection of the best films will be shown on the big screen at the Blue Mouse Theatre on November 15th 2019 in Tacoma WA as part of the Friday Night Frights program.

As always, your film must be one minute long, including credits. Your film must be original, you are not allowed to use copyrighted material, unless you are the copyright holder. It all begins on October 18th! You have two weeks to create your masterpiece.
