It provides funding and support to local filmmakers to shoot and edit a short film in eight days.[1] It has been called one of the best platforms for emerging filmmakers in Vancouver and has produced over 100 short films.[2][3]
History
Crazy8s was founded in 1999 by Andrew Williamson.[4] Teams of filmmakers pitch their concepts to industry professionals. Around 200 teams annually submit a video pitch, 40 are then chosen to pitch in-person to a jury, after that 12 teams advance to the script stage before six finalists are announced in early January.[5]
After fine-tuning their concepts and delivering revised scripts, 6 winners are chosen to receive $1,000 and a production package and have three days to shoot followed by five days of post-production.[6] Most of the approximately 2,000 people involved are industry professionals.[7]
Notable past participants include Kaare Andrews, Samm Barnes, Carl Bessai, James Dunnison, Mackenzie Gray, Matthew Kowalchuk, CJ Wallis, Ali Liebert, Zach Lipovsky, Elan Mastai, Camille Mitchell, Nimisha Mukerji, Chris Goldade, Graham Wardle and Kyra Zagorsky.[8][9]
