The Shoot Out named one of the world’s top 24 events for 2010 by a leading London newspaper. Read more
The Shoot Out Cheyenne asks its filmmakers to trust their courage, imagination and determination by making a 7-minute film in just 24 hours. The challenge and skill involved becomes evident with the list of required technical, material, and timing 'rules' for creating the films.
The cost per team is $100 which includes two participants and two tickets to the screening event. 17 & under teams are $50. Additional team members are $25 and $20 respectively and includes a ticket to the venue screening. Additional venue tickets can be purchased for $15 each. The event is open to the public. Call for entries will start on September 15, 2010.
ABOUT THE SHOOT OUT 24 HOUR FILMMAKING FESTIVAL
Each film can be no longer than 7 minutes in length (including credits) and must be edited in-camera and returned to the event organizers no later than 24 hours after the start of the event. All films must include 5 of the eleven items announced at the start of the event in “The Brief.” All films are judged to come up with the Top 10 Films for the Gala Screening Event.

EDITING IN CAMERA: What It Means
Films must be shot in sequence, i.e. produced in a linear fashion (NO EDITING). This means that teams may rewind tape, preview and tape over what was last shot. Teams may not edit i.e. you can not use an editing suite, any method that views it through a monitor or by connecting several cameras or VTRs together or use of a computer or any other technology other than one camera used to shoot the video/film. This also means you can not use camera's internal memory sticks nor can you reorder your scenes using any memory or DVDR functions that the camera may have. You may only record onto tape i.e. MiniDV, even if the camera has an internal hard drive.
Congrats to the following Top 10 Films and filmmakers (while more people may have worked on each of these films, the official Shoot Out credits are limited to those people that were officially added to the team and paid for at sign-up and tape return):
