A LOCAL FILM FESTIVAL TO INSPIRE YOU TO GET OUTSIDE AND MOVE

Submissions due by MIDNIGHT on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8

DaysHoursMinutesSecondsREGISTRATION IS CLOSED FOR THE FESTIVAL

We’re calling all artists and filmmakers of the community to create a short film of their latest passion projects at Action! A Community Film Festival! at our Peace Dale, RI facility on Friday, November 15th!

Climbing and all other outdoor adventures are obviously welcome – but if you have any other adventure, passion, or hobby that you’ve immortalized on film, we want to see it! All experience levels are encouraged to submit a film. Spread the word to your friends and family! All community members are welcome to enter submissions, and, of course, all are welcome to attend.

This event is FREE FOR EVERYONE with $16 climbing starting at 6PM for anyone interested in giving our sport a try.

Films must be submitted digitally by Friday, November 8th to our Peace Dale, RI facility Program Manager, Cassie at c.clift@rockspotclimbing.com. Please direct questions and inquiries for alternate means of submission to Cassie as well.

Films will be compiled, reviewed, and the top films selected by staff that fit into a 2 hour premiere will be presented at our Film Festival, also at our Peace Dale, RI facility on Friday, November 15th.

Our staff reserve the right to not screen any submitted film for language, content appropriateness, length, or if we get too many submissions.

The top productions in the following five (5) categories, as judged by the audience (besides the staff pick), will receive prizes from our local and corporate sponsors!

Best Film | Best Soundtrack | Funniest Film | Most Action Packed | Staff Pick

Each submission can ONLY WIN IN ONE OF THE CATEGORIES so be sure to review all our rules & technical requirements below.

Start filming and editing and we’ll see you at the premiere!
