Take Part in the
Feature Short Challenge
Poster & Artwork
Artists Callout
We’re looking for talented creatives to help design a series of in-world posters and artwork for our upcoming feature short film. These designs will appear throughout the film as part of its visual world-building.
We need artwork for the following fictional elements:
-
The Great Reconnect – Propaganda posts announcing the day the internet will be restored.
-
The Errorists – A radical group fighting to ensure the power of the internet is shared equally. They use graffiti to spread their message so we'd require ideas for their graffiti
-
Offline Police – The authorities tasked with preventing illegal internet access. (We’ll also need an insignia for them!)
-
Internet Return Support Groups – Communities helping people adjust to life back online.
If you’re an artist, digital artist or graphic designer who wants to contribute to a cinematic world download the welcome the full brief packet today!
DEADLINE:
Artist callout opens October 19th and will remain open until November 10th as we expect a majority of films to be filming or close to filming. The sooner you submit your artwork the more chance filmmakers have to include it in their film.
