Kick-Off Party

Join us on Friday, December 1st at 7PM at Creative Veins Performing Arts Studio for one heck of a magical kick-off party! Here, you and your fellow party-goers will form or join a filmmaking team (we will help with this part!) and select who will be your team captain! Then, each team will draw their filmmaking requirements from our 4 stockings of fortune—Sub-Genre of Holiday Film, Central Conflict, a Location seen in the film, and a Miracle that must occur. Be warned, though, that each stocking has both Naughty and Nice requirements! Can’t make it to the kick-off, but still want to participate? Email or text us (Admin@CreativeVeins.com | 904.323.2471)! We got you! We’re all about helping and making this a truly fun and collaborative journey!

In just three weeks, teams will craft a 5-minute holiday film to impress our judges, vie for gleaming trophies and cash prizes, and wow the audience on January 6th at 7PM at the public screening! Get ready for a truly magical filmmaking journey!

Registration

Every team member, whether they’re the maestro behind the camera, the leading lady, an on-set helper or editing wizard, must register and pay a $14/per person participation fee. If you already have a team (or mostly formed team), this can be done ahead of time using the form or at the kick-off party. And hey, if your team grows after the kick-off, fear not! Simply guide your new recruits to the registration and payment portal, and let the merriment continue!
