Red Coral Universe, the new OTT streaming platform catering to independent filmmakers, has announced its 1st Annual Gen Z Film Festival, a global competition in which filmmakers 26 years old and under can submit a finished feature or short film for a chance to win distribution deals, $10,000 cash, production equipment and other cool prizes. Deadline to enter is March 31, 2024.
Please send completed projects to redcoraluniverse@gmail.com.
Films of any length or genre will be accepted; however, pornographic or excessively violent material will not be considered, and the filmmaker(s) will be disqualified. All films will be reviewed by our Selection Committee and those selected to participate will run on Red Coral Universe OTT platform until May 31, 2024, for the world to see. During that time, all views, likes and comments will be logged, and each film will be given a score based on the tally of the festival’s logged categories:
Average daily views
Highest total average rating (based on a 5-star system rating)
Most comments
Creators of the 25 highest rated films will be awarded a non-exclusive distribution deal by Red Coral Universe for that project and automatically entered in a final round for a month of viewing and voting.
The competition ends on June 30 and numbers will be tallied to reveal the Top 3 films. First place creator wins $10,000, while 2nd Place finisher will receive a Camera and Equipment package, and 3rd Place finisher will receive budget, finance, and script consultation for their next project, and will receive official Red Coral Universe merchandise.
