Roxy5 Short Film Competition
The Roxy5 Short Film Competition was a unique opportunity that brought together upcoming student talent with film industry professionals as well as related businesses, organisations and partners – it’s all about building creative experiences and connections for our young future filmmakers!
The films were judged according to creative storytelling potential, and there were a host of prizes to be won. The winning films received the opportunity to embark on an amazing practical filmmaking journey and re-make their film under the guidance of professional industry mentors.
