The 2013 YPSI 24-Hour Film Shootout
Returning in September!
The 2nd annual YPSI 24-Hour Film Shootout is a chance to lose some sleep working on a filmmaking team to shoot and edit a short movie – in just 24 hours!

This is not for the faint of heart! The filmmakers’ creativity and teamwork capabilities will be tested in this time-restricted production schedule. However, the Best of the Best will be rewarded with cash prizes and the 1st Place winner will take home the famous IPSY Trophy!

Updates will be posted on this website and via Twitter. A complete list of required forms and Official Rules & Disclaimers will be published on the website this summer.


"The YPSI 24-Hour Film Shootout celebrates the city's DIY spirit but has prizes that equal national film competitions."
- Martin Thoburn | 2012 1st Place Winner
