The Festival is the first ever film festival that challenges college students to write, shoot, and edit a short film in just one day. There were approximately 216 entries from 90 universities ranging from USC, UCLA, Loyola Marymount, New York University, Ohio State, MIT, Full Sail, to smaller community colleges. This video was the "Judge's Winner", one of the top two awards among the 216 entries.
