The RWC crew have just returned from a showing of Straight 8 highlights. This is the simple idea behind Straight 8...
Straight 8 challenges you to make a 3 minute film on one cartridge of super 8mm cine film. You use the roll they send you and you send it back to them un-developed. So all edits and effects are made in-camera only. You then upload an original soundtrack and the first time you see your film - if it's great - is at one of our huge screenings, like at Cannes Film Festival. Mental!
The film can be about anything.
Here are a few samplers...
'I've Been Single Too Long' a straight a film by Shane Davey (2003)
'Jour de Gloires' a straight 8 film by Pascal Fillion (2003)
'Sticks and Balls' a straight 8 film by Jacqueline Wright and Alice Lowe (2007)
