About
Since 2005, William & Mary Libraries’ Charles W. Reeder Media Center has hosted the highly anticipated 24 Speed Filmmaking Competition. The rules are simple: write, shoot, and edit a short film in just 24 hours! The contest is open to W&M students and alumni, pros and amateurs alike, and is a chance to show your filmmaking chops on the big screen.
24 Speed | Competition
The next 24 Speed Filmmaking Competition kicks off on Friday, January 24, 2020 at 5:30pm. Student teams are expected to show up in person at the Ford Classroom at the Reeder Media Center (located on the ground floor of Swem Library), whereas alumni teams can tune in via live Zoom. At the kickoff ceremony, each team will be given a prop and line of dialogue that must be used in their film, as well as a genre for their film.
24 Speed | Screening
The final screening of 24 Speed undergraduate films will take place at the Kimball Theater in Colonial Williamsburg the week following the event. Check out this page for updated details on the screening as we approach the day of the event! We'll also contact team captains with the details.
